After numberous problems during the install, ranging from the need to defrag from a boot disc, to aborting an install partway through and having to boot from my osx disc and reinstall osx (several times until I found the right combination of options so that it didn't tell me I had run out of space).
After it was finally installed, everything seamed peachy. I mean, besides that 2GB of space had been sucked into the nether. Ah well, I can be frugal with my HD space in windows, although it makes for some fair annoyances now.
Then I thought I was getting poor performance in 3d applications, so I googled it and saw many recommended the omega ati drivers. What a mistake. They installed fine the first time, and although they didn't seem to be much faster, they weren't much slower either, so what the hell. Then I rebooted back to osx. By OS picking screen (holding option and boot) was all garbled and pixelated. I got into OSX and everything looked solarized and pixelated as well. It was like I was running at 4 bit color depth or something. Rebooted back to windows, and it had the same problem. Reinstalled the omega drivers (while wondering how windows drivers had such far-reach effects on my system), but it didn't help. Tried to reinstall the mac drivers, but ran into a problem where the installer says it can't find the file it just unpacked, even though I was looking at it in the right location in windows explorer. After maybe a dozen rounds of installing the mac drivers and the omega drivers, somehow it just fixed itself. But as soon as I boot to osx once (which works fine) then head back to windows, it will be garbled.
Oh, and my bootup OS choosing screen has been garbled the whole time, ever since I first installed the omega drivers.
I would have thought that going back to teh offical macdrivers display driver would fix it, but it did nothing, so I'm stuck uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling the omega drivers every time I want to use windows.
Thank god I'll be finishing the project that has me needing windows in a few days, then I can just delete the partition and be done with teh nightmare.
