Q: BootCamp will not install drivers on 2007 iMac 20"

Boot Camp installed Windows 7 64bit fine on my iMac with one key exception: drivers. The mouse and graphics work, but other than that it's totally without boot camp's help. The keyboard function keys not working is proving to be the most annoying, and the iMac has been running FAR too hot since the brightness is stuck too high. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Download BC drivers from Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support appropriate for your iMac year/model and Boot Camp: Solve Windows support software installation problems .

Thank you!! Just out of curiosity, why does the 2007 iMac run 32bit Windows if it is a 64bit CPU? Is it just the only version of Windows boot camp happens to support on this model?

You can try installing 64-bit W7 on the 2007 iMac. It should work, despite some driver issues.
