Hi Dears,
I have formatted my windows vista on my imac20" and I installed windows Vista again but I found that I don't have sound in the system and the video quality became worse than before, and I can't type in arabic, So I need all the drivers for it to work again as before,
sound, video, keyboard ( I have Multilingual keyboard Arabic & English ),
and what ever drivers you guys think that I will need.. 🙂

Thanx & Regards

imac 20", Windows Vista, windows vista on mac leopard

Apple only adds drivers to partition and install Windows.

Windows Ultimate (Vista/7) has and allows use of all languages.

But I still can't hear sounds or type in Arabic, do I have to finish all the windows updates to have the sound??

I think it's driver issue,

Well, you are somewhat on your own when it comes to Windows - on any system - sometimes you do need to find drivers for your PC and chipset.

Even on Mac, you need to install RealTek drivers yourself, though Windows 7 is more complete and reduces the need to find things yourself most of the time.

Has nothing to do with what is going on in Mac OS side.

Try http://www.guru3d.com as a start and Windows Vista forums.

Thanx for the help but the answer was from the store where I bought my mac from..

They told me after I install windows on the mac I have to insert the first mac os x disc and install the apple support software which included there and every thing now is working fine and perfect.

thanx 🙂

You can find people here, where even AFTER installing Apple hardware support, they still had audio problems; needed graphic drivers.

Glad it works fine, I'd reserve "perfect." Boot Camp 3 has trouble with the AppleHFS if you look around.

I've heard so many stories of support advice, and I doubt unless they work with BootCamp and Windows on Mac fulltime they know all the ins-outs.

64-bit versions of Vista/7 are still not getting Apple official support. Have to see if the newest iMac changes that, would be a crime, now that it can easily be outfitted with such niceties as 8GB, better graphics, Core i5/i7.
