![]() ![]() Problems? I have three unknown devices in Device Manager. Also no UAC bothering me as it doesn't mind you logging on as the Administrator account (if you're administering a server then you're presumed to know what you're doing. Why install Windows Server 2008 instead of Vista? See point 3: minimalist = good, fast and less likely to go wrong, and on a MacBook I have no hardware compatibility problems to worry about. This still is not enough to connect to your wireless network though - even after rebooting it won't find it by default, I think because the Wireless service doesn't start by default (I chose that option from 'Diagnose and Repair' from the network icon and it worked, but as I didn't start it myself I can't be sure)Ĥ) One more thing to do: go into System Properties (sorry, 'Advanced System Settings') then the Advanced tab (presumably super-advanced!) and choose Settings\Advanced (TRIPLE Advanced!) and change 'Adjust for best performance of' from 'Background Services' to 'Programs'. Funny how Vista went in the opposite direction - more on that later maybe. Did I say minimalist? After only an hour or so I am really starting to like this OS. Incidentally, the Windows Audio service isn't set to start automatically either. There are lots of other options available. That's also where you can turn on the Desktop Experience, which gets you the Aero desktop and Media Player etc, though you still have to start the Themes service to get Aero. So the wireless network capability is not installed by default: it needs to be added in the "Add Features" part of 'Server Manager' (which starts up by default anyway). ![]() Incidentally, if you try with a DVD burnt straight from a MSDN ISO you get this cryptic menu:ģ) Windows Server 2008 is designed for a minimalist install, to reduce the " attack surface" as the jargon goes. (The reason is, sigh, failing to follow the standards) Fortunately, the required software is free and the instructions are good. There are several forum posts from people with the same problem but no answers.)Ģ) The Windows Server 2008 ISOs you get from MSDN will not boot into Boot Camp without a good bit of tweaking. It all goes OK until you try to install the drivers from the Leopard disc: the KeyAgent and MacHAL drivers simply refuse to load, so none of the hardware really works (OK, if you can do without any kind of right click and put with deranged mouse movement then maybe you'll be able to get away with it but I wouldn't bother. Here's some notes for anyone wanting to do it:ġ) The 64 bit versions of Windows Server 2008 will only work properly on a Macbook Pro or Mac Pro and not on a MacBook. Īny clue/pointer would be much appreciated.Well, it works. But looking at device manager, my driver is still dated. I was prompted earlier by NVidia about installation of the latest driver. But I'm more concerned that within win10 Device Manager, my GPU got an exclamation mark! "A driver (service) for this device has been disabled, An alternate driver may be providing this functionality (Code 32)" I think I lost 'some' functionalities such as the F10, F11, F12 volume keys are not working within win10 anymore. At that point, I got a perfect device manager, i.e. I first installed win7 w/ bootcamp and subsequently updated to win7SP1. Re: bootcamp support software which version for early 2009 macbook?īut after upgrading to win10, while it looks like things are LARGELY working except I get this exclamation mark on my GPU within win10 device manager so may I check w/ the experts here if anyone got the GPU working perfectly? Here's the setup:Įarly 2009 13" MacBook white w/ Core2 Duo 2.0Ghz, 4Gb DDR2-667 ram, GeForce 9400M GPU, upgraded 128Gb SSD running Yosemite 10.10.5 w/ Bootcamp 5.1.4. Thanks to help here I managed to install win7 via older bootcamp software with no problem: Looks to me that my machine is too early to make the cut for bootcamp6 but I took the chance and upgraded to win10 anyway. ![]()
