For several months I've run Windows 7 64 bit on my MBP 5.5 OS X 10.6.5. I have some nagging issues I cannot resolve regarding display, drivers, time and bluetooth.
Display..The MBP comes with NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Pixel Depth 32-bit color.
My display is set to 1024 x 768 stretched. When viewing IE in Win 7 the screen is only 3/4's full. I'm old. I need better fonts but nothing seems to work. I've never understood the combo Pixels/Display. Can someone give me the best settings for MBP display? On the Mac side it is fine.
Drivers..The updated driver (Win side) for what shows as my monitor (pnp) is dated a few years ago this cannot be correct. What is the proper display driver for a MBP 5.5 running Win 7?
Recently on boot up the time/date display reverts to GMT. I'm in the CST zone and I have to constantly adjust the clock. Today I found the area to set the clock to time.windows. or some such and it reset the clock perfectly. I haven't re-booted so I do not know which time will show. Why does Windows always mess with my CST zone display?
Just lately on trying to switch from Win 7 to Mac OX when I click on the Bootcamp logo is says "Could not locate the Mac OS X Boot Volume". ????
I have to shut down and hold down the option key to reboot. Why did this suddenly happen? I use to be able to click the icon and it would reboot in OS X.
Bluetooth...I can connect my mouse but this computer has never recognized my wireless Apple keyboard. I've put in new batteries a couple of times and done all the searches but it never comes up. Bluetooth can find the wireless KB on my iMac but not on the Pro. I've moved it as close as possible and in every positiion. The keyboard is confusing in itself because the lights do not indicated when it is on or off. I've read all the explanations about the light but i wished it had a light to signify it is on.
Your replies will be greatly appreciated and I won't lose any more gray hair if someone can answer all my trivia that is important to me.
Thx in advance.
