I've recently purchased a new iMac which was partitioned using Bootcamp by the seller who also installed a Chinese version of Windows. I find that the iSight camera is not showing in Skype and believe that he didn't install the drivers when he bootcamp'd the iMac. Where are the drivers located? I seem to remember that they were on the installation DVD before but I cannot find any setup.exe file on the installation discs.
Apple provides the BootCamp Drivers on the Leopard/Snow Leopard Installation DVD.
Since it is a hybrid-DVD the Drivers are only shown, when you insert the DVD while being in Windows.
I've been working on this all weekend and I've had little luck. It's a long story but here is the condensed version.
Took me forever, but I finally got the Windows XP SP2 to install and run on my iMac Intel Core Duo. I couldn't get windows to read my snow leopard DVD so I could install the Boot Camp drivers. So, I tried downloading them from the apple website (which i had to do from the mac side since the windows side couldn't connect to my wireless network). I burned them to a CD and I put them on an external hard drive that I formatted for windows. The file could be seen by windows xp, but when I tried opening it nothing happened. Then I right clicked and chose "run..." and then a window popped up but said "can't open this file" and gave an error. Then I read that Windows XP SP2 OEM wasn't compatible. And I had OEM.
So I tried VISTA instead. Which ***** because it requires so much more space, and all i want windows for is to play AION. So, I finally got Vista to install and it can't read the Snow Leopard disk either. I haven't tried download the vista boot camp file yet, but I'm going to tomorrow. I'm expecting it not to work either.
I have pink eye. So please feel sorry for me and help me figure this out.
Ok, I'm installing XP again, because clearly that wasn't the issue if Vista is having the same issue. With XP I can have a smaller partition so that is why I chose it over Vista (and I've heard vista *****). I found a website that said if I have trouble getting the snow leopard disk to load, then go to run and just type D: and hit run
So i'm going to try that tomorrow. And if that doesn't work, some other things. Anybody have any advice yet?
Got it figured out. Found someone who had ripped the BootCamp 3.0 Drivers from the snow leopard dvd. Downloaded the torrent. Copied the files to my external hard drive with a readable partition for windows. Then rant the setup file. Went easy.
