Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

MacBook pro nvidia 330m , drivers for windows 7?

so I have an i5 15 inch MacBook pro and am trying to install windows 7 , 32 bit, via boot camp.

Everything installs fine now, except all I have is base VGA.

The intent was to have mass effect2 playing, but I need to get usable drivers.

Am I stuck until apple gets around to putting compatible drivers in A 3.2 or equiv bootcamp?

Or do I have another alternative with drivers.

Thanks

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6), 4GB 2.4GHz

Well this is my scenario...

Was running Google Earth and screenshot few Maps for some trial run and while browsing the captured image using "Quick View" by pressing SPACEBAR from the keyboard. The first image loads and when I press the right arrow to browse thru the next image, my computer blackout and had to hold the Power button to restart my computer back alive.

I have 10.6.4 installed and also having Windows 7 (64 bit) on a Bootcamp as well.

I agree a graphic intense work forcing the NVIDIA card to freeze but on a fresh boot it happens without any graphical program running.

Happened this once when I bought my computer in April but never saw this again until yesterday and now it has been the 5th time. I send the report few times to Apple since yesterday.

What is the cause?

Do we need an update for the Firmware? Also I suspect this is due to the recent Graphical Firmware update that I have done using Software Update.

NOTE: This happens only when my OSX is running not on Bootcamp or Parallel Desktop running.

Please I need a fix... This is driving me nuts.

Thanks
