Wireless not working in Windows XP Boot Camp

I've just installed Leopard and Windows XP Home/Boot Camp. Everything is working great except the wireless connection. I have an Airport Extreme(n) and all the Macs connect fine. A friend brought over his HP Notebook with XP and it connects fine to the network. The iMac with XP finds and connects to the network, but gives a warning "Limited or no connectivity." I don't think that it's properly assigning the IP address to the machine.
I'm using WEP security but I still have the same problem if I turn the security off. When I open Wireless Connection Network Properties in XP, it shows that the machine is using a Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter. Is that correct? All of the Leopard and Windows updates have been installed on the machine. Any ideas out there??
Thanks in advance!
David

The issue affects XP with an "n" wireless router running WEP or WAP2 security. I followed the instructions and problem solved!

Wireless mouse does not work in Windows XP (Boot Camp)

Is there a way to get my wireless (Bluetooth) mouse to work under Windows XP? It is the mouse that came with my Mac Pro.
I managed to install Windows XP Professional and the Boot Camp drivers w/o a mouse. But now that XP is running fine I still have no mouse. Tried the Control Panel > Bluetooth > Detect Devices (can't remember exact wording), but no Bluetooth device was detected.
Yes I read the Boot Camp installation guide but hope that the USB mouse requirement was only for the installation part and that there is a way to make the mouse work after the Boot Camp drivers are installed.
Many thanks for your help.
Olaf

Most untrue works just fine under Windows actually ,however you do need to repair with windows .AND only after OSx pairing complete AND the Boot camp drivers are installed in Windows.
It uses a special profile to allow pairing in what is in essence two differing computers !
Having said that to get the mighty mouse to pair under windows can take a bit of effort.
When if finds the mouse and asks for a pairing password try either none or 0000!

CD-ROM`s are not working on windows 8 (Boot Camp)

I have installed Windows 8 in my MacBook Pro (2011) And it works fine. I updated my boot camp drivers today and now sound and brightness works great But i have one problem, im trying to install my pc game to windows 8, but the disc wont appear anywhere on w8. I see it on MAC side, but not on windows side. What i can do? I have searched information of this, but i cant find anything. Somebody can tell me what i have to do?
Thank you!

Did you check Control Panel>Device Manager ?
Open up the DVD/CD-ROM Drives and see if your drive is even listed.
If it is try updating the drivers.
If not Run Action>Scan for Hardware Changes and see if Windows finds the Drive.

Do you still have your windows7 install files ?

Simple question. Will my Magic Mouse work in Windows 8 Boot Camp 5.1 (Mavericks)

I think my question says it all. My magic mouse is not working and will not pair with my Windows 8 Boot Camp install done from the Mavericks Boot Camp setup. Should it work? Does it not work? Thanks.

you don't mention what mac you have because I suspect that the bluetooth driver for windows only support 1 input at the time over bluetooth
my magic trackpad works fine with bluetooth but my bluetooth mice require being run as usb device it can't connect using bluetooth at all

Windows 8.1 Not Working Properly after Updating Boot Camp Drivers to 5.1

Hi all!
Recently I had a problem with the sound in Windows 8.1 using BC v5. That problem was resolved by updating the Boot Camp Drivers to 5.1. Now I've more problems than before.
1. Some service are not loading at all at the startup (which did before)
The Boot Camp service is not loading automatically at startup, other Windows Services are not loading at the startup after updating the Boot Camp Drivers (Windows Update)
2. Microsoft Office cannot verify license for the product.
This problem is due to the services that won't start automatically. I can't even do a repair of MS Office 2013... Even though it's a legal version of MS Office.
There are many many more problems I think... I just haven't discovered them yet which is very very annoying. When I was using Windows 8.1 with the Boot Camp Drivers version 5 there were few bugs than now...
Please is there any notice of these errors? Or am I the only one who is experiencing these errors??? Please give me some answers!
Thanks in advance!!

I updated them by downloading the zip file from the Apple site...
I've just updated Mac OS X and it seems that this was the solution... Everything works fine! (For now)

Airport extreme, audio won't work on windows 7 boot camp for my macbook pro osx lion

Bought my Macbookpro in late 2011 and osx lion, decided to put boot camp on it, but it won't find my airport exrteme or even if i connect the ethernet cord directly into the laptop it still wont conectto the internet, and my audio also doesn't work, even when i plug in headphones, any suggestions?

Sorry for the late reply, I've searched as much as I could all having similar issues but not quite being the same issue. I've tried manually putting in my airport extreme information, search for other connections, start a new connection, all have not worked. I did everything normally to setup windows except put in the authentication code which i have misplaced.
I might've already added the drivers but im not too sure, how would you add the driver, just in case i missed that part

S10-3 Wireless - not working with Windows 7

Hi, I bought the S10-3 two days ago and decided to load windows 7 (ultimate). The load was smooth but after I had finished the wireless was not working nut the wireless light on the front of the PC was on. The first strange thing I noticed was Fn5 did not work so the only on/off control I had was on the side switch. I eventually fixed this problem by downloading the driver from the internet , the wireless is the Atheros AR9285. Everything was well and proceeded to download anti-virus and other software.
Then disaster, during the time of downloading windows had also been doing some updates and when the system restarted there is NO WIRELESS.
It appears on boot that the "wireless" light indicator is ON and when windows fires up it goes off, I checked in the boot and it is enabled, I checked the driver again but it is OK but windows says it is not switched ON but I have checked the physical switch and it is ON.
Any ideas appreciated.
edit : correct machine model in postname

Hi and welcome, if all possible is switched on.. did you install the lenovo energymanagement ?
where you can switch (softwarebased) seperately wireless devices... if wifi still isnt work...
you have to bite in a sour apple and install windows 7 from a scratch again ... then first update all via windows updates , then ... install the lenovo energymanagement... , then, look in devicemanager if there is some questionmark ... in normal case there is no need other driver to install...
and all should be working... simply install a antivirus-program.. and all your need other personal stuff...

Function keys not working in XP under Boot Camp

I have a slight problem with Boot Camp with XP.
When I first installed it long ago, I recall there was a Boot Camp icon in the Windows tool bar, and the function keys could be used to change the volume, brightness, and keyboard backlight. Now, there isn't, and they don't.
I've run 'repair' from the Leopard DVD, but still the functionality hasn't returned. This is particularly irritating within a game because I can't even change the volume without quitting to desktop.
Note that the Boot Camp partition is also used by Parallels, just in case that's a factor. Other than that, I can't think what it was I might have done to have caused whatever Boot Camp installed to facilitate this functionality, be removed/disabled.
Any ideas how I can repair it without starting again from scratch?

I'm having similar issues with no real luck. The only 'solution' I've found is to manually start the KbdMgr.exe program each and everytime I turn on Windows. The program is in the Bootcamp folder, and I put a shortcut on my desktop.
KbdMgr is set to start with Windows, but it doesn't. I've even done a repair install of Windows, removed and reinstalled Bootcamp drivers with no success. I can't find an actual solution anywhere, just workarounds.

Two finger scrolling quit working on Windows 7 Boot Camp.

My two finger scrolling just quit working while running Windows 7 on Boot Camp. Any ideas?

Mr Tech,
I did insert my Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD once I was in Windows 7 and installed the boot camp thing, which installed all of the drivers

U430 Touch: wireless not working with windows 7

My friend bought a U430 Touch with Windows 8. He hated Win 8 so I helped him downgrade to Win 7. Now the wireless dowsn't work. Ethernet works fine and we are able to get on the internet, but wireless does not work at all. I've been to Lenovo's site and downloaded the drivers from their support site, but nothing weems to work. Is there a special driver I'm missing?
Solved!

It's possible that they are shipping with Intel only at the moment, but the Hardware Maintenance Manual lists two non-Intel cards: a Liteon, and a "non-Intel", whatever that means.
Just sayin'

Wireless not working on windows xp sp2

Hey guys, I just installed windows xp sp2 on my mac, followed all the steps, installed all mac drivers... but i can't connect to my home network... I already rebooted my router, checked the filtering, everything is ok.
My network is available but when i try to connect it says that is not in range, but the signal is full.
Please help me, i really need to fix this
Thanks

Are you using WPA2 for Wireless Security ?
If so, then you need a patch from Microsoft to enable WPA2 with XP SP2, which can be found on Microsofts Download site.
The SP3 for XP has that patch incorporated.

Aluminum keyboard eject button does not work on Windows XP

I'm wondering if anyone else has the same issue:
the eject disk button on my new aluminum keyboard does not work in Windows XP (Boot Camp).
As I have a Mac Pro, there is no way of manually opening and closing the tray-loading Superdrive.
I can open the drive if I right-click "My Computer>DVD drive>Eject" but there is no way of closing it back. I am obviously not a Windows XP expert, are there ways of mapping the eject function to any key?

Actually, how does Software Update figure out what apps you have available for update?
I always thought that Software Update looks at your /Library/Receipts to check what Apple pkgs you have for update, so I assumed that any Apple-related Pkg would be updated. I may be totally wrong on this, correct me if that is so...but thanks for the info.
