Games 10.5.8 Windows 7 Is Not

However, Windows 7 is not FULLY operational.sound devices dont work, and parts of the keyboard (in particular shortcuts such as control cv etc) are not recognised.

Unfortunately, the drivers on my Mac OS boot disk are not working.I get a your machine does not support 64 bit notice when I insert the disc into windows.

I have access to a 10.6 snow leopard disk, and when I inserted this into windows, i got the same error message.

So my question is, what should I do - Perhaps uninstall bootcamp on the windows side and reinstall it with the 10.6 disk - Perhaps reinstall bootcamp on the mac side with the 10.6 disk - re install os 10.6 on the make and do everything again from scratch - put up with windows as it is Help to sdort this out will be greatly appreciated I also hope this helps other people doing the same thing.

Games 10.5.8 Windows 7 Did In

All the short cuts on windows 7 did in fact work, they just worked with the control key instead of the apple key.

However, because the control key on the apple keyboard is in an annoying location I plan on making my own custom shortcuts in windows 7.

A friend of mine(thanks Zack) pointed me to the forum article below.

This is how I got the sound devices to work sound drivers installed.

I followed it all apart from the part of uninstalling the realtek driver - my machine never installed it in the first place so there was nothing to uninstall: Hello everyone, So Im pleased to say after over a month of trying to solve this annoying problem, its been solved Basically, if you have an iMac, Early 2008 edition (8,1) and Windows 7 and notice that the default microsoft driver gives very low sound and the new realtek drivers only give sound through the internal speakers.

You can check this in Device Manager (control panel system device manager).

Insert the original Leopard Disc 1 that came with your iMac (very important, as this is the only driver I know for sure will work).

Point windows explorer to the folder: D:Boot CampDrivers (assuming d: is your cd-rom drive).

Copy the RealTekSetup.exe file somewhere on your desktop.

Do NOT install it 5) Decompress RealTekSetup.exe by right clicking the file and choosing 7-zip decompress.

Again, youll need to make sure you installed 7-zip from 7zip.com prior to doing this.

Go to your Device Manager again, right click the sound device (which should be something like High Definition Audio) and choose Update Device Software.

Select Browse my computer for driver software and direct it to the folder that you extracted the drivers to.

You now have sound through your EXTERNAL SPEAKERS This works because there is a bug that RealTekApple does not seem to want to fix where the newer version of the RealTek control panel detects the speaker out as line in and the line in as nothing This forces drivers normally made for Vista or Vista64 to install on Windows 7, which work 100 great.

I promise you, if you have an Early 2008 iMac, this WILL fix your problem if you follow each step Let me know if you have any questions Brad Levicoff Windows is now running perfectly, and it is VERY FAST I hope at the very least this makes an interesting read.

I used bootcamp 2.0 to install windows 7 home premium 32 bit.
