Windows Vista Bootcamp Driver Problems

Hello,
     I have installed Windows Vista 32bit through Bootcamp, and the installation went through fine. I inserted my iMac "Mac OS X Install DVD" that came with my imac i bought in august. I tryed to run the program, but it said it was only availible for Windows 7. I could not acsess the internet through Wifi on Windows.
Could anyone give me instructions on how i can get the Windows Vista Drivers without the disk? the drivers, that bootcamp prompts me to install onto a usb, are also for windows 7 only. (ive already tryed this)
Thanks!

The hatter,
While running Vista, I navigate to Bootcamp setup.exe (my 10.6.6 disc is in the drive), it quits mid-launch and tells me Windows 7 is required. But Bootcamp user's manual says Vista is ok.
I'm using an 21.5" iMac with 10.6.8. I installed Windows Vista Home Basic 32 bit via bootcamp assistant. Vista is running fine but i can't surf the net. Error msgs say "network adaptor not found." Other forums lead me to believe it is a matter of bootcamp installing the proper drivers so vista can recognize my network hardware. But I can't even run bootcamp in Vista from my snow leopard CD b/c it quits and requires Windows 7.
My firmware is up to date as I checked it manually. According to my boot rom version, I need firmware update 1.9. After downloading and launching, msg tells me it is not compatible with my system. Please advise.

  • Installing windows vista load driver problem

    I am trying to load Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 32. I follow the bootcamp assistant instructions. I select "Disk 0 Partition 3 BOOTCAMP" as instructed but the "Next" button will not function. I can tab or select between drives, Refresh and Load Driver but cannot get to Next. The Bootcamp instructions say to load drivers after Windows is installed but I can't get Windows installed?? What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Found my own problem. Had to click on drive options advanced and format. That still didn't work because the disk was too small. Increased disk size and successfully completed install.

  • Windows Vista Audio Driver Problem

    My Windows Vista Drivers that I got for my MacBook Pro from the installation disk have bad audio drivers. The sound on the speakers is too low, and the microphone won't even work. When I talk into the microphone while under Sound Properties in the Recording tab, it shows that the microphone is picking up sound. However, in Ventrilo, and Windows Sound Recorder, there is no sound from my microphone.
    I'm using Bootcamp 2.1. When will this problem be fixed? Will Apple release a new bootcamp version to fix this problem?? This is very important to me.
    If anyone has fixed this problem, please tell me how you did it.
    BTW, the audio device is called "Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB75)"

  • How do I get Vista to go back to the Windows' Vista generic driver after an Extigy upgrade fiasco

    Hello all. First, I'm glad to have the opportunity to be a part of this group. I didn't know it even existed, but here I am...so, let me know what you think.
    I am a new Windows Vista Ultimate OS owner, and thus far, I'm absolutely thrilled with the advances in video render and compression speeds. However, one of the auto-update features tried to update my Extigy driver, the one that apparently loaded with the original install of Windows Vista, and the update didn't work...go figure. So, now there is no way to use the system restore as it doesn't recognize that there was a change, and I can't get the Extigy to make a peep.
    How do I go bakc to the Windows Vista generic driver so I can listem to my voice overs agan?Thanks so much folks... Michael

    Go to the device manager, and select the extigy, then properties, then in the driver tab, the 3rd button down

  • Cloning Windows Vista Hard Drive

    I have a Mac Pro.
    I have Windows Vista installed on a separate internal hard drive.
    I want to make a bootable clone of this Windows Vista hard drive onto another separate internal hard drive.
    Is there a program or utility that allows this.
    I have tried Norotn Ghost and it is not "reliable".

  • Bootcamp Driver Problems in Windows 8

    I use a MBP 13" 2010 model, and I've used it for a long time, but it's never had any problems with Bootcamp until now.
    Last month I bought a copy of Windows 8 Pro x64 (disc) and I wanted to install it on my recently clean-installed Mac. I installed it with no problems using Bootcamp. Booting into Windows 8, I found that the Bootcamp Drivers weren't compatible with Windows 8, but I looked up a guide that told me just to install the drivers one by one. I did that and rebooted.
    The drivers still didn't work for some reason. The brightness controls weren't adjustable, the keyboard shortcuts didn't work, the trackpad failed as well, and numerous other problems plagued me in Windows mode. I re-installed the drivers and rebooted, but it still didn't work. I even installed the Nvidia display driver seperately, but no go. Is this Bootcamp's problem? Most likely the driver's out of date.
    So I'm stuck using my office computer now, until I can find a way to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

    defan752,
    I recently put Windows 8 (64bit) on my 15" 2009 MBP. I performed a clean install utilizing Boot Camp. I followed instructions found online. Prior to installing Win8, I had WinXP installed on a partition, which worked perfectly.
    For my Win8 installation I upgraded my MBP's OS from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion comes with a newer version of Boot Camp (version 4.0 - I believe). The newer version has a slightly different process for driver installation. It has you create a driver installation disc within the Boot Camp Asstant software running on my Mac BEFORE creating the partition and installation. First it will connect to the interenet and download the latest support files for the drivers for your machine, then it will ask you to insert a blank disc, upon which it will write Windows friendly installation file (the disc contained an executable file [.exe] which is to be run on the newly installed windows parition). While Boot Camp (4.0 or whatever it is that came with Mountain Lion) doesn't have official support for Windows 8, utilizing the Windows 7 installation method will create a Driver CD that works in Win8. After creation of driver disc, follow the normal installation instructions (create partition, install win8). Once Win8 finishes installing, go to the desk top (Windows Button + D), pop in the driver disc and the Executable file. After the file runs the drivers will be installed but will require a reboot in order to be utilized. Reboot your machine and you should be good to go.
    NOTE: hold on to that driver disc, I have already had to use it to repair some of my drivers that got messed (my own fault, not mac's or MS) and reran the executable file which fixed everything again.
    NOTE: You will be able to utilize much of the drivers in the Win8 environment, however there are limitations. While the trackpad supports multitouch, it is limited (two finger right click, two finger scrolling). The nifty new multitouch gestures in Win8, are not yet supported. I suspect they will be with future updates to these drivers. But we won't get that until Boot Camp can fully support Win8. Also I noticed that my speakers don't switch to headphones when I plug them in, nor does it recognize the toslink connection. I'm still looking for answers to those problems.

  • How do I move my library from Windows Vista hard drive that is now in an external box to a Windows 8 PC?

    My old PC operating with Windows Vista failed to reboot, ironically but only coincidentally right after I installed the latest Itunes update a few weeks ago.  It would not get past the DOS screen but getting that far I was at least able to conduct a diagnostics.  The result was Hard Drive failure "BIOS-HD."  I have a new PC with Windows 8 and have installed Itunes there as well.  I removed the Hard Drive from the old computer and placed it in an external drive box.  Fortunately, I can access everything on that drive including Itunes.  How do I move my Itunes Library from my old hard drive in the external box and connected to my new PC, to the hard drive in the new PC?  I see all sorts of instructions on line but none for the specific circumstance of the old hard drive in an external box and moving to a new PC with newer operating system (Windows 8).  Thanks

    Aside from checking here, I also Googled for an answer.  Then I faced the problem on the Internet where stuff stays there forever and so I see solutions for previous and maybe obsolete versions of Itunes.  I have no way of knowing if the seemingly sound advice was solved in later versions of Itunes.  In one case there is a great YouTube video with a guy from Circuit City (now out of business).  I found an extensive explanation that made my head explode with all the detail but I did understand enough to see that the solution they precribed has you go onto your new computer and make sure you rename your new hard drive to match the name of the hard drive from your old computer.  That way Itunes on the new computer will be able to find it okay.  These instructions also tell you to downlaod Itunes software on the new computer first and then move two different folders (I think one has the extension of .itl); one folder with the library and the other has the metadata--to the new computer.  Then to confuse things I have seen instructions that also say to just move the files and they don't address the issue with the file names like turringtest said.  Most discouraging is that all of the instructions I have talked about, explain what to do without ever addressing my specific situation where the old hard rive used to reside in an old computer and has an Vistas Operating System that apparently failed and caused me to get a new computer in the first place (I guess I could have loaded a new operating system but not sure if that would have wiped out my extensive files...also irrelevant to the discussion }:) Sorry).  Thanks for your attempt to help.  I appreciate it much.

  • Xboard 61 and Vista x64 driver problems

    I cannot install the driver for my Xboard 61 without this happening. I've done the following:

  • Can not turn on wireless after Windows vista install driver issue?

    Hi all,
    Not sure if this is the right place for the post, if not I apologies in advance.
    I have a Compaq Presario C700 (C730EM) on which the hard drive died on me, I brought a new one and installed Windows vista premium from disk (not a backup / recovery disk).
    All seems fine however I can not turn on the wireless, the C700 has a wireless button on the top left hard side (which has a red LED when not on). Normally you push this and it turns on (turns LED Blue) but nothing!
    I have commented wired and updated windows etc. and have tired to find wireless driver which I guess I’m missing? Not sure if it’s wireless driver missing or a keyboard driver?
    After installing a few drivers which I thought where right no joy!
    Can anyone help?
    Cheers

  • 8520 Windows Vista Contact Sync problem

    I recently added all my contacts from windows vista contacts and for some reason it assigned picutres to people who had no picture assigned from other pictures of people in my contacts, any suggestions.
    Is there a way to do a mass removal of all contacts on device?
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem, when I sync the contacts they pass well from outlook to my iphone, but not the way around, indeed it changes my iphone contacts information and dismisses all the inputs that I already made in the iphone.

  • SoundBlaster X-FI XtremeGamer Fatality Pro & Windows Vista 64 Drive

    Just wondering what the current driver is for my video card ( SoundBlaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer Fatality Pro). I downloaded the following driver (Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Pack .04.0078) and I'm not sure it is the correct driver. I've searched the forums and see that everyone is talking about the recently pulled driver (SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_5_0003.exe). Would this be the driver I should be using for my sound card If not, what is the correct driver I should be using for my sound card Is there a current driver for my sound card I noticed that this driver is available as well (Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeMusic, Platinum, Fatalty and Elite Pro with Open AL support 2.09.0007). Just trying to clear up some confusion and not mess up my recently formatted computer with the newly installed Windows Vista 64. I'm hoping someone can help clear things up for me. Thanks for the replies.

    I'm not sure what all is included in the Audio Pack but the 2.5.0002 or .0003 drivers are technically the correct ones. (You may only be able to get .0002 since the other one was pulled). However, you'll find that a majority of users are completely unable to run Vista with an X-Fi card at all.
    The easiest way to get the latest driver/software is to go here: http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ and select the card you own.
    Good luck, but don't hold your breathe...

  • Upgrading to iTunes 9 on Windows Vista...PROBLEMS!

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 9 on my computer, and it is Windows Vista. The computer and iTunes was perfectly fine before, but now iTunes doesn't come up when I open it and my iPod does not show up under "My Computer". I went to apple.com and reinstalled iTunes 9, hitting the "Repair" option when a choice came up, and iTunes popped up and it came up fine but I couldnt click on anything in the iTunes window because the computer became suddenly slow. After quitting out of the iTunes program using Task Manager, iTunes wouldnt come up again. I need help on what to do to have iTunes work again properly without losing the music already on my library. Thank you.

  • ThinkPad T60 8741-4SU + windows vista 64bit // temperature problems

    ThinkPad T60 8741-4SU - High temperatures
    Hi i recently upgraded my pc, bought set of 4gb ram (2x2gb of kingston ram), at that time i was running on windows xp prof sp2 and everything was fine, temperature was ok, idle at ~45C, burn ~70C.. Since i changed my os to windows vista ultimate 64 bit, temperatures are extremely high, idle is around ~60C and if i try to run some stability test that uses both cores at 100%, the temperature gets to ~95C and then i rather quickly stop it, because i dont want it to raise more and do some serious damage..
    I dont have any lenovo software installed, i rather use the default stuff in windows - seems more user friendly so far.. So far i downloaded tpfancontrol to see if the fan is working properly and it seems it is, if i manually set it to max RPM, i can hear it, but the temperature is still about the same..
    The other thing i am worried about it is that my intel t7400 is supposed to have max voltage at 1.3V, but i often see in Everest monitoring software, 1.36, CPUID shows 1.363, which is more than is supposed to be there, i was trying to see, if something is messed up in BIOS, but there is nothing about voltage - nothing that i can found..
    My bios version is 1.03, windows vista ultimate 64bit - fully updated, outside temperature - the same, maybe even lower, laptop is sitting on the wodden desk.. Power setting at windows is set to Balanced, if i set the power saver- system is slow and with high performance the temperatures are running very high in the iddle..  I have the laptop for like 8months..
    Other temperatures - idle
    1 cpu 58°C (0x78)
    2 aps 46°C (0x79)
    3 crd 42°C (0x7a)
    4 gpu 61°C (0x7b)
    5 no5 50°C (0x7c)
    7 bat 36°C (0x7e)
    9 bus 44°C (0xc0)
    10 pci 54°C (0xc1)
    11 pwr 54°C (0xc2)
    I think i havent forgotten anything, please and thanks for help and helpfull comments!

    make sure your ventilation ducts are clean from dirt, Vista put lot more strain on every component of your laptop, so the temperature increase should be normal. Xp is lot less demanding on computer compoents, however it does sound like your heat ventilation fan and fins are clogged with dusts. So open up the laptop to clean away any dusts that maybe there.
