Apple Releases Boot Camp 1.1

[patseguin]

Well, I got it up and running on my Mac Pro. In fact, i am typing this from Windows XP. Definitely the fastest Windows I've ever run.

I see a '?' under Other Devices that lists 'Base System Device'. Anyone know what that is and why there is no driver installed? oh, and I have 4 !'s for 'Intel(R) 5000 Series Chipset PCI Express x4 port 3 5 6 7'

 

[treblah]

Son of a gun!

Of course they release this the day after I nuke my Windows partition to test Lea…

 

[jaxstate]

Well, I can no longer connect to my wireless network in Windows.

 

[WildPalms]

Uhh..because Windows Live Messenger DOES support video conferencing? Because I'm looking at it right now on my iMac with Windows Live Messenger, and I can see myself with the iSight cam with the new drivers within Live Messenger?

"sheesh" indeed...

Maybe you didnt read your own post...as can be evidenced by the attached screenshot you posted which shows you running Windows. You said iChat working with Messenger....

....iChat.........get it now? There is no iChat for Windows, so showing me pics of Windows running video chats does nothing for your suggestion that iChat will be communicating with Messenger or other non supported protocols.

Just in case you still dont get it, you said "And more importantly, will this be a sign that iChat in Leopard will work with MSN/Live Messenger next year??"

iSight and Headphones - yay!

I just burned a new driver CD for Boot Camp since I already had the previous version of the beta installed. Everything went fine except for some reason the Wireless Network Card driver was un-installed but, all I had to do was open up the Device Manager and re-install the driver from the burned driver disc.

In the images attached below you see that the iSight camera is now nicley labeled in the My Computer window and that it can show a live view from the camera, you can also take snapshots. Also now when you plug in headphones you no longer can hear audio through the internal speakers. Also the microphone works as well, good job Apple.

Yay!

trackpad

They didn't give any love to the trackpad (tap to click, scroll, etc..)??? At least tap-click would help a lot, drives me crazy.

 

[ImAlex]

No

Ok.

 

[ceruleanventure]

Ok....my wireless connection just stopped working after the install.... I think I can try to fix this....

Are you really sure it's fast? Try running some HD tests. I bet your HD is slow, very slow. There are issues with SATA speeds, and my test indicated they have not fixed it yet, even with the latest drivers in Bootcamp 1.1

Yeah that happened to me too. Just right-click on My Computer and click Properties. Then Click on Hardware and then click on Device Manager. Under Network adapters the one with the "?" on it needs it's driver re-installed, this is the Wireless Network Adapter. Make sure you have the Macintosh Boot Camp Driver CD in the drive. Then right-click on "Network Adapter" with the "?" on it, and click "Install Driver" (or something along those lines) Windows should automatically find the driver from the CD which will install it, fixing your problem.

Hope that helps

Hey thanks LimeiBook86, I got it working in like a minute. Ok, no worries now and my headphones finally work while under XP. YES!

Man take this thread back 4 years and repost it. Not a single Mac user would believe that such a thing would EVER happen on a Mac. Dem times they are a changing.

Yes, you are correct. I said iChat from the Mac working with Messenger on XP. I would like for that to happen. Doesn't mean it can, doesn't mean it will. I would hope that it can happen, but if it doesn't, then fine.

....iChat.........get it now? There is no iChat for Windows, so showing me pics of Windows running video chats does nothing for your suggestion that iChat will be communicating with Messenger or other non supported protocols.

I know there is no iChat for Windows. What I was responding to was the following statement you made:

How on earth did you make the jump to thinking this is a sign that iChat will communicate with MSN/Live Messenger? The MSN client does not support video/audio conferencing. That is something that Microsoft can only change. What makes you think Apple have any control over Microsoft software?
*sheesh*

You clearly said that the MSN client does not support video/audio conferencing. My post with screen pic was to illustrate that it does. And not just with Macs running Boot Camp. Regular Windows users with regular webcams can currently videoconference with one another. And yes, I get it...it doesn't mean a damn thing when it comes to videoconferencing between Macs and PC's.

Just in case you still dont get it, you said "And more importantly, will this be a sign that iChat in Leopard will work with MSN/Live Messenger next year??"

Nothing says it will. I'm hoping that it can. This has been brought up in other threads as well by other posters. It would be nice, that's all I'm trying to say.

Doesn't really matter now...I can videoconference from the Windows XP partition to other Windows users now if I need to.

 

[nologo]

So does this mean that you can use these drivers if you just have an wintel box? (For instance, if you wanted to use the iSight in windows XP)?

Strange question, I know, but I've got both a mac and a pc and was curious to see if it's possible to get my iSight working on the pc as well.

 

[jfig24]

I can't get my bluetooth to work at all.....worked before but stopped working after the update. It doesn't detect my Logitech V270 at all.

 

[jaxstate]

My wireless connection is acting iffy in Windows. It says "Not Connected" in the wireless options, but I'm able to connect. Strange.

sounds like they are improving it.

great! now i just need that macbook pro

and a hopefully soon to come midlevel tower with more power than the imac, less than the macpro towers.

Ok, maybe thats my fault. I should have said the Microsoft MSN Messenger client for Mac does not support audio/video chat. I doubt they will ever do it, as it will infringe on the Windows version of Messenger. Personally, I only run Windows for those few games that cannot be run on OS X and I find MSN's Windows IM client with video and audio to be sub standard. Skype does a better job with cross platform audio/video chat.

As far as iChat being able to support MSN chats.....we've seen before where Microsoft have changed their protocols to prevent other clients from communicating with MSN and it wouldnt surprise me one bit if Microsoft effected a protocol change to prevent cross client comms. if iChat ever developed the ability to directly access MSN conversations. The current jabber integration is under threat and we may see that losing interoperability with MSN very shortly.

iChat does it so much better, it just does it right. The less time I have to spend in Windows, the happier I am.

Call Microsoft and beg like a dog. They will give it to you after grilling you over like the prime suspect in a murder case.

Beg like a dog? I didn't even have to explain myself. I just spoke to a nice Indian lady, read her my Activation ID, and she read the new one back to me. That was it. No questions, no nothing.

Native American is a more appropriate term....

PS- I thank god I have my company's corp license for XP and office 2003. I own both but its nice not having to ask permission from Unkie Gates everytime I want to reinstall. [/minrant=0]

Indeed. I hug my MSDN licence nightly.

As it should be....

Activation is there to ensure that you can only run the one copy of Windows that you paid for. If you want to transfer that to a new system - fine.

You won't have a problem until you try to run multiple simultaneous copies.

 

[CubaTBird]

I might finally download it and install the Vista Beta on my MacBook.

...I can't believe I am considering installing Windows on my Mac.

Oxymoron on that 'tar if you do.

 

[nagromme]

What (if anything) can the Front Row remote be used for under Windows? Can people who already have/use PowerPoint in XP control it that way?
