Boot Camp Beta 1.1.2 Released
- Thread starter MacBytes

USB in Parallels is weird. For example, it won't see my Verizon BlackBerry, which means I can't use it as a high-speed modem. For that, I have to "Boot Camp".
Right Click
I just figured it out. Press the track pad with two fingers and then, while holding down the trackpad, click the button with your thumb. Seems a little complicated, but it works.

After installing this update my mouse no longer shows up at the windows login screen, effectively rendering my windows installation useless. Anyone know how to get past the windows login screen without a pointer on the screen? I've tried with a USB mouse and the trackpad and it won't show up. Some Suggestions would be helpful.
You need boot camp to play most games, Parallels can't give full access to the vidéo card.

no, boot camp can't affect macintosh preferences.

yes vista runs with boot camp, and parallels, as does linux, it doesn't change anything, however the official release of vista will do it's best not to run on parallels, just to annoy the customer and force him to pay the full 299 price.

i had no microphone support on my MBP, with BC 1.1.1 (even if it said it did), and 1.1.2 fixes that.
--
maybe leopard will have a completely different, and better, way to run windows apps, some rumors talk about parallels, or something similar, being included.
i still need boot camp anyway, because i only use windows for gaming.
Use the tab key on your keyboard and hit enter when the focus changes to the user you want to login as.

Thanks! I'll give it a whirl.
EDIT: Tried it and it seems that the keyboard doesn't work either. It didn't do anything in response to hitting the TAB key. Also, testing the capslock and num lock keys, their respective LEDs didn't go on. Not sure what to do from here.
Funniest Comment Yet...
Wil Shipley, of wilshipley.com posted the funniest comment I have heard about Bootcamp, and how it may be made better under leopard. He writes:
"At the non-non-disclosed WWDC keynote this year, Steve Jobs said Boot Camp will ship as part of Leopard, and it'll be friendlier. Apple has also publicly said in the past that it won't be selling Window pre-bundled on its machines. So, how can they make Boot Camp friendlier, if they won't just, say, do all the work for you, ahead of time?
The friendliest way I can think of is, while you're running Boot Camp and still inside Mac OS X, it should ask you to pop in your Windows CD and Boot Camp installs Windows for you. Then, you reboot, and voila: Windows. (Which is kind of like saying: "Voila: **** sandwich!")"

That's odd. Have you tried reinstalling the program or the windows install? I haven't had any problems like that and, since the release candidate, haven't had any problems with parallels at all. It's still annoying that I have to use boot camp to play my childish games though.
If it's a Bluetooth keyboard try turning it off and back on or hit the enter key and it should come to life.

arrgggh!! BSOD
Well, I popped my freshly minted 1.1.2 driver CD into windows, ran the installer, everything went great until we reached the trackpad installation. Then *poof* blue screen of death. Okay, standard windows response to change. I reboot, it goes through a whole mess of disk checking, then finally the login screen. Perfect. Except for the fact that my keyboard and mouse are no longer recogznized nor is my external mouse (a bizarre looking thing with TWO buttons! Who thought such a beast existed). Now I am stuck. Anyone have a workaround, or should I start with the recovery process from the windows installer?

Sorry forgot to say what machine it was on. This is on a Macbook and it's the built-in keyboard and trackpad that doesn't work.
Hmm ... in that case if you can't use a USB mouse or keyboard I would press the power button and XP should shutdown. After this restart Windows on your Macbook and keep pressing F8 and hopefully a menu will appear before Windows gets to the login screen. From here you should be able to select Safe Mode and *fingers crossed* will be able to remove/reinstall the problematic driver.

No fix to the Mac Pro + 1900XT + 23" ACD problem here.
mine works, install xp / vista using a secondary monitor and then connect your ACD. works just fine!
Anyone got the new trackpad driver working in Vista RC2 yet? I cant get it to install for some reason.
You can't play games on Parallels buddy.
Actually, you can. Some older games like Half Life 1 run. But most games say they didn't find a graphic card
Is anyone else bummed that there's still no external iSight support? I know that the external iSight contains unspeakably harmful materials which will destroy the planet in a matter of weeks, but it would be nice to use Skype video in Windows to say my goodbyes.
