Hi Peter Have you installed the Windows/Mac drivers from the OSX CD? When you install Bootcamp, you need to load the MacOSX CD which has Windows drivers for a lot of things on it.
Quote from the Manual <http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf> ---quote--- Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort, built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and the function keys on an Apple keyboard. The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and the Apple Boot Camp system tray item. To install the Boot Camp drivers: 1 Eject the Windows installation disc. 2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn¹t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorer and double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory. 3 Follow the onscreen instructions. If a message appears that says the software you¹re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway. Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don¹t require your input. 11 If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you must respond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows. Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs. 4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only). 5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear. 6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp. ---end quote--- Kind Regards Daniel On 11/9/10 4:59 PM, "Peter Bull" <pb...@bbnet.com.au> wrote: > > Hi Paul, > > Thanks for your suggestions.
