If you have BootCamp installed open Utilities Folder, on Boot Camp Assistant contol click and Show Pacakage Contents, open Contents folder, then Resources Folder, ther is DiskImage.dmg , you can burn that image, there are all the drivers for Apple hardware.

BootCamp does not install on Hackitoshes, but you may if you use Pacifist, even if you use Pacifist you can extract only the Drivers' CD image.

Hi there people!

A year ago I've bought a aluminium flat Apple keyboard, I have a PC running Vista and Windows 7, both x64, and Iwould like to take the full advantage of the keyboard shortcuts, but I can't find any driver to do the job and use it as a ordinary keyboard.

When I install the driver the installer says it cannot find any Apple keyboard, does anybody knows what should I do?

I have the same problem sad.gif running on 32bit Vista. The keyboard is detected only through USB port and not through Keyboard port (purple), but the installer doesn't recognize it in any way.

same here. anybody got the answer? I am desperate.

my apple wired keyboard works ok except:
fn + delete not working.
fn + up/down arrow not working
same symptom as the previous two posters when installing the driver. .. no apple keyboard detected. The keyboard is detected as a HID Keyboard Device in windows, not an "apple keyboard"

in case you haven't found a solution, i recommend downloading sharpkeys. you can use this to remap the f13-f19 keys to something else. fn and the cd eject button is not detected by this program. however, one solution would be to write a program to capture the button code for these two buttons and remap that through the windows registry. but in all honesty, this is just a work around. i would love to see 64bit drivers compatible with windows 7.

Same problem with vista 64, are there just drivers that we can point to for windows instead of and exe.

Hey guys, Im running windows 7 32-bit Ultimate on my MacBook 4.1 (the polycarbonate one), and my keyboard driver is not working properly. My slash-question mark key doesnt work properly, as well as the square brackets, apostrophes etc. (Essentially all the keys from the letter P over). I would really appreciate a working driver... ive tried the one http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=43983 here, and it doesnt even recognize my apple keyboard (like danielzzz above, the keyboard is recognized only as an HID keyboard), so a working one would be appreciated =).

Thanks in advance
