Does version 3.0 address the heat/fan problem that a lot of people (including myself) are having when running Windows on the unibody machines?
Got a tip for us?

Hello
Had not read this very interesting post on bootcamp 3.0, Thanks
My English is very basic, so I apologize and patience with me.
No end to understand the steps to install bootcamp 3.0 on Windows 7 64 and my mac pro 2009.
Can anyone explain step by step how to do it? I have read is that no a number of links shown with modifications (I think).
Thanks in advance and greetings

On my Windows 7 64-bit boot camp 3.0, I can access Mac drives. One thing I noticed though, for the main Mac OS X partition, I can access the Users > Name folder, but when I open that folder, nothing exists in that folder (even though there are things in there). Why is that?
I found manually typing in an address works. Like E:\Users\ryannazaretian\Music will show all my music files. Just get past the user folder and you're pretty much good to go.
Hi there,
Just one question about this thread.
I noticed that a few people have mentioned updating their wifi drivers for increased speed and stability. I've tried searching for these but can not locate them.
I've got a Unibody 17" macbook pro and was wondering if someone would be kind enough to point me in the correct direction.
Regards,
Simon

Hello.
I just installed Windows 7 and noticed this thread while trying to figure out how to install Boot Camp without getting all the issues mentioned in this thread... without success.
After further research, I noticed that there's newer builds of Boot Camp 3.0 out there but I couldn't find any (or any with seeders anyway). I couldn't find more recent builds of Snow Leopard either to get the updated BC 3.0 drivers that way.
Does anybody have it or could you point me to it, either here or via PM?
Thank you.

I have a MacBook Pro (Santa Rosa), purchased in mid 2007. According to the link below, I cannot use 64bit Windows. Anyone know if this is just not supported by Apple and if there is a workaround to getting 64bit to work?

Also, anyone use these drivers with Win7 64bit?

I'm also curious if Boot Camp says anywhere that it officially supports Windows 7. I mean I know the Vista drivers would work just fine under 7, but still curious.
i just installed Boot camp 3.0 on my win7 X64 partition in my iMac
all i had to do was: go to the drivers/apple/bootcamp64, right click and "compatibility troubleshooting", windows removed the "version check" from the installed, ran bootcamp64 and all installed just fine.

Sorry dude, didn't get that error so unfortunately don't know what to suggest. Have you tried the latest version of Bootcamp?
MacBook says :
I installed the final version of windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on my Early 2008 MacBook4,1.
When I installed all this and replaced the files with the patched ones and i run setup, it says: BootCamp x64 is not supported on this computer model.
Is this because i have a (non-pro) MacBook4,1 that doesn't support 64-bit?

Seven on MBA - Bootcamp 3 need to be re-installed sometime
Hi,
for information, just have SEVEN Entreprise 32 on my MBA and works quite well :
- Drivers OK using BootCamp 3.0 from my Snow Leopard DVD
- BootCamp.exe works using "BootCampED" version to avoid high Latency <=> Fn Key (brightness, sound, etc.)
NEVERTHELESS, each time I add a new hardware, I need to re-install BootCamp drivers by using repair function from the DVD
=> Bootcamp is running (process is running), but the Fn Keys are not operationnal !!!
Except this bad point, my old Printer (Laserjet 1000) and my old Scanner (Canoscan N656U) work well using XP Drivers (installed manually), that is a very good point.
If someone has an answer for my bootcamp.exe process issue (Fn Key not opertionnal after new hardware installation), I will be very Cool
Thks

Nice to see people using my script!
I never published the version that tries to automatically remove the Bootcamp icon from the tray, because that doesn't work 100%. With the first Beta of Windows 7 this icon would vanish by itself once the Bootcamp.exe (kbgmgr.exe) process was killed, the RC didn't do that anymore. How does the final Release handle the tray-icon?
This might be another discrepancy of Windows versions. I noticed that the Release CANDIDATE and Beta could be made to work with all Bootcamp driver (2.1), but the final Release could not be made to work with function keys and keyboard-light. So whatever Microsoft changed it affects the (still Vista) Apple driver.=> Bootcamp is running (process is running), but the Fn Keys are not operationnal !!!
You could try installing a mixure of the new 2.2 driver and the 3.0 beta, maybe that will fix the issues. But given that Apple announced official W7 drivers to arrive in december (afaik) it may not be worth the effort.If someone has an answer for my bootcamp.exe process issue (Fn Key not opertionnal after new hardware installation), I will be very Cool

Hello Timur,
many thanks for your quick answer and of course for your VERY USEFUL script !
I was close to follow your advises, but I think I have found the issue since it's working for the moment after many drivers update (again and again ...) => It's a user mistake
Let me explain : I've used msconfig to enable ONLY your script to load, and NOT the original Bootcamp.exe.
Since I let the original bootcamp.exe AND your script at startup, all looks fine ...
For information, the Tray-Icon is visible
The last issue is my wifi card : it's working, but the signal is very low (at 4 meters to my router).
I believe that it's a configuration issue since the signal is very good when using Snow Leopard.
For information, I'm leaving in France, and the drivers looks to be configure only for the US.
I've tried both driver from "Microsoft Catalog Update" and drivers V5.60.18.8 from here http://www.wireless-driver.com/download/broadcom/broadcom-4321ag4322ag43224ag-windows7-driver-v560188.htm
This may be slightly off-topic but I have a Macbook which I'm using Bootcamp to run Windows 7 32bit and it was running marvelously using these Bootcamp drivers up until last night! BSOD!!! Now everytime I bootup in Windows after about 3 minutes the BSOD comes and crashes my party. Some sort of error pointing to applemnt.sys
Anyone have any ideas?
