#35164 - 03/17/08 07:13 PM Boot Camp Manager not working
+Solistus +Solistus Gutter Trash Registered: 06/19/00 Posts: 3930	So I have Boot Camp up and running, but the Boot Camp Manager app on Windows won't work. It doesn't launch on startup anymore, and when I try to launch KbdMgr manually, it "encounters a problem" and quits immediately. Windows still works fine, but I can't use, e.g., the volume keys. I tried uninstalling Boot Camp + all the Apple drivers and reinstalling, to no avail. I can't find anything online except problems with some antivirus software I don't use. Any suggestions? _________________________ I've parted ways with the clan and won't be checking this forum much. AIM me.

I'm running XP Pro SP2, and it's, uh, let's just say I won't be running WGA anytime soon. _________________________ I've parted ways with the clan and won't be checking this forum much. AIM me.

If you have a 10.5 disk, just pop that baby in while booted to windows and it'll take care of you. Or am I not understanding you and you already did that and it's bugging out now? _________________________ Signature

+Solistus +Solistus Gutter Trash Registered: 06/19/00 Posts: 3930	I installed the Boot Camp drivers. The Boot Camp Manager utility (which also includes the soft keymapping solution Apple uses for the function keys) won't start. All the hardware works; I just can't use my volume, etc. keys. AFAIK the Boot Camp Manager doesn't do anything else I care about, but not having use of volume keys is pretty annoying. _________________________ I've parted ways with the clan and won't be checking this forum much.

Virtualised Windows would be almost entirely useless to me, anyway; the only reason I use Windows is for gaming, and virtualisation is a substantial performance hit over BC. Annoying as it is to use BC without my function key hardware controls, it's a lot better than a virtualisation solution anyway. _________________________ I've parted ways with the clan and won't be checking this forum much.

Tyr Tyr Overdosed Registered: 12/27/01 Posts: 5224 Loc: Lexington,KY	virtualbox is open source and free and works pretty well for what i use it for. are you running Tiger or Leopard as your Mac OS? _________________________ "The weak die and the strong survive.

+Solistus +Solistus Gutter Trash Registered: 06/19/00 Posts: 3930	virtualbox seems pretty neat, but it's not at all useful for me. I have no interest in running Windows on top of OSX. Boot Camp is definitely the only method of running Windows that is worth my consideration. I use Leopard. _________________________ I've parted ways with the clan and won't be checking this forum much. AIM me.

Tyr Tyr Overdosed Registered: 12/27/01 Posts: 5224 Loc: Lexington,KY	Originally Posted By: +Solistus I use Leopard. Well there goes that thought. I was thinking maybe if you were using the beta of BC on Tiger then something there might've gotten fowled up. _________________________ "The weak die and the strong survive.
