mattdh Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I have tried everything and have yet to get my ATI X1900 Video Card working on Vista using Bootcamp. I get the error that their are not enough resources. Looked all over the internet and have not found an updated driver that may fix the issue. Apple really needs to get this issue resolved ASAP.

I have heard that its a issue (mac pro only) in vista, if you have less than 2 gb ram! This dude has it up and running: Mac Pro with Vista I have a geforce 7300 gt...

ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I cant get my mac pro to work either, also stuck with 4bit colour with geforce 7300gt.

strip22 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Im really starting to think its the 1gb that causes these problem. Kinda dissapointed about the mac pro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I expect apple will come up with a fix for this soon. I think it also has something to do with the fact that the 'base system' drivers are not installed. But yeh im kinda dissapointed with my mac pro. Ive had more troubles with it than my hackintosh. Argh and has an annoying fault with cd's. Like if i leave one in for a bit then try and eject it nothing happens then any programs that could access the cd drives just crash, even dashboard widgets such as istat pro dont load up, it wont reboot or shut down so i have to hard reboot it.

Bojeebees Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I've managed to get Vista into 32bit color (I'm using a Mac Pro with a 7300GT and 1gb of ram) by disabling the PCI-E x16 listing in the device manager. But now "Display Adapter" is no longer listed in the Device Manager at all and Vista is using something called "VGASave" as the display driver. Is there anyone out there fighting with this same issue that has found a better solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orea Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I got it working but it supports only 1 card, I have use the 64 bit version to get the use out of my 4GB of Ram. It does support it well, but it has blips now and then, where the screen flicks off and then comes back, and then a pop up saying "the display driver failed, but has sucsessfuly restored now". Here is the link to my Mac Pro. * Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon * 4GB (8 x 512MB) * 4 x NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB * 500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s * 500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s * One 16x SuperDrive * Both Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and AirPort Extreme * Apple Keyboard & Mighty Mouse (wireless) * Mac OS X * Final Cut Express HD * Apple Cinema HD Display (23" flat panel) * AppleCare Protection Plan for Mac Pro - Auto-enroll * Five USB ports * Two FireWire 400 ports * Two FireWire 800 ports It was of the slip - i upgraded the ram, i go them off eBay.
