I've downloaded bootcamp 5 to run windows 7 but I can't get a wireless internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've downloade bootcamp 5 to run windows 7 but i can't get the wireless internet to work. It does not seem to recognise it. Without the use of the internet the software that i want to install i.e sage instant accounts will be useless. Can anyone help please? i also have a problem of ejecting the cd disc. i press the normal eject button and nothing happens. The only way i could eject the windows 7 disc was to toggle to the mac side of the computer and it would eject from there. Does anyone know how to do this from the windows side?

You have not installed the Boot Camp drivers.

Start up in OS X and download the Windows support software from this site > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638 Follow the steps of the link except the ones to install Windows.

Then, start up in Windows and install the Windows support software

Mende,

I've downloaded the windows support software which seems to be the same software that I downloaded when I first tried to install bootcamp but i still can't get the system to recognise the wireless internet. Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks

Ken

Did the Boot Camp support drivers installation run automatically? Did you see drivers being installed?

If not, navigate (in Windows) to the drive you installed them on and open the Bootcamp folder then click on the Setup.exe near the bottom of its contents.

That should start the installation.
