MBP graphics card question

[vcmystery]

Hi, I just bought a new macbook pro 13 inch with the new 320M graphics card. I bootcamped windows 7 for the gaming aspect, and when I tried to run a few games, none of them work, I get an error message saying that my standard VGA graphics chipset wont support the games and that my system will crash... any ideas ?

Have you installed the BootCamp drivers from the Snow Leopard install disk?

Did somebody forget to install their Bootcamp drivers

Have you installed the BootCamp drivers from the Snow Leopard install disk?

my apologies, I believe I may have, but also I may not have, once windows was installed, I put both disks in that came with my computer, one of them didnt read, the other game me two options, one to install some DVD disc transfer thing, so I did so, and the other option was to remote install OSX. Im super confused.


Wait, I just put the install DVD into my mac, its installing options, none of which say bootcamp though, am I on the right track ?

You need to insert your gray disc that does NOT say, "Applications."

Now use the Explorer to browse this disk for setup.exe. Run it

Also, download the 3.1 update (32-bit/64-bit)

Just to clarify, when I open the disk, my options are install Mac OSX, DVD sharing setup and optional installs, correct? Im currently installing the optional installs, and im assuming that mac osx will just re install the OS I already have running ? I apologize, I just made the jump from windows to mac, im really new at this

Forget that window. As I said, go to your Explorer. Browse to the DVD. Find setup.exe and run it.

Im an idiot.. I still cant figure it out. I went into finder, and when I click the dvd, I get the same menu that I mentioned before

Wait, adding to the pervious, "Im an idiot" is it safe to assume, that I would be wise to be booted in windows when installing said drivers ?

You must be in Windows to install those drivers

Boot into Windows, open Explorer and find setup.exe file from the DVD
