Bartboy919 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) I quite frankly tired of having to burn a CD every time I want to install windows Vista on my mac, so for convieniance I will post every driver that is needed for vista that comes with the CD. MODS: If I am violating anything feel free to PM and/or remove the stuff EDIT: It would seem that the max upload is 2 mb. While this is fine form most things, the realtek and the sigmaTel sound drivers are both 20 MB.

pauljcg Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 If you have a USB stick, external hard drive or memory card handy, you can copy the drivers from the Boot Camp application to that. Just control/right-click on the Boot Camp application and select Show Package Contents. From there go to Contents > Resources and open DiskImage.dmg. Copy the files from this disk image to a folder on your external device. Just be sure the external device is FAT32 formatted so that Windows can read it!

Korrupted Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 The aapltctp[trackpad] driver doesn't work for me when I try to install it: The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work for Windows 32 bit systems.

briliantone13 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 The aapltctp[trackpad] driver doesn't work for me when I try to install it: The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work for Windows 32 bit systems. Real mac specs in sig[except it's running Vista Ultimate now.] I am getting that exact same error on my MacBook. In device manager/HID-Devices, I have disabled every driver in there, but none of them disabled the built in trackpad. Any help would be great, because Vista especially NEEDS a right click. Don't you feel stupid when you post a question on a form, and answer it yourself 30 seconds later... Anyway, I had been receiving an error message every time I tried to install the aapltctp driver. This is because I was trying to install it on the wrong device. On my MacBook, the driver for the trackpad was not located in HID devices, but in USB controllers. Go to Device Manager/Universal Serial Bus controllers. One driver listed was a USB Human Interface device. I opened the driver update dialogue, and was presented a choice of "USB Human Interface Device" or "Apple Trackpad". So I installed the Apple drivers on this device, and presto, I have a scrolling, right-clicking, Vista Ultimate running, MacBook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumblpak Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Here's a question, what video card do you guys have? My mbp 17" crashes in aero about every half hour. Is there a driver fix for this? I have the ATI x1600 256MB if people need a reference with the latest drivers from ATI. Is there a better driver to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan015 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 If only I had this when the new version of Boot Camp came out. I ended up downloading this in torrent because I couldn't extract it (I had MacDrive and everything, I couldn't figure out how to mount DMG) also I didn't have my Mac OS installed at the time either.
