Bootcamp help please

[Ben Cole]

Followed all the instructions, windows installed ok.

The problem I now have inevitably is drivers.

In the pack I downloaded there is a setup.exe which I presume installs all the correct drivers and the bootcamp systray thingy. I tried to run but I get the error "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". Odd since it's what MacOSX downloaded automatically for me.

In itself it wouldn't be a problem but in the downloaded driver package the drivers for the trackpad and some other things don't appear to do anything.

So at the moment no right click or scrolling on the trackpad, wrong keyboard layout, no brightness or hotkeys.

Machine is a MacBook Unibody 2.4GHz C2D, 8Gb Ram

What version of OSX and what version of Windows are you running?

 

[Ben Cole]

Lion and 7.

Lion and 7.

What version of 7 though, 32 or 64 bit? Maybe your model is not supported for 64bit Windows by Apple. Try:

It's 7 HP-N, only tried 64 bit so far.

That link looks interesting thanks.

That info in that link didn't work unfortunately.

Well it seems the answer is very simple.

This MacBook is not compatible with Windows 7 64 bit. (Despite having a 2.4GHz P8600 CPU)

Anyway, everything worked nicely with my 7 HP 32 bit disc, unfortunately I am using that license with my windows laptop. Will have to do some OS juggling by the look of it

It's a bit silly to have 8Gb RAM with so little useable.
