Are you using bootcamp drivers that came w/ snow leopard? have you tried upgrading to bootcamp 3.1?

I know there were issues w/ 3.0 and sp3 where many had to find workarounds but I'm assuming they've now fixed it (hopefully).

currently Boot Camp is version 3.02. Yesterday I went to Apple website to download version 3.1, but the file format is EXE. It can not install. how can I do?

I seem to recall some issue where Windows was trying to write temp files to the (read only) OS X partition because it was the first partition in the HDD.

EDIT: Does this help? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3841

I'm pretty sure 3.1 is the latest update (apart from some fixes for the older 2.1)
just click on the exe while your in windows. it should auto run (may take a little while before anything actually happens).

Thank you for your advice. After update to bootcamp 3.1, it can install SP3.
