    Everything's going well, except now I don't have any audio. I tried installing Boot Camp drivers from Snow Leopard's disc, but it kept saying I needed elevated privileges to run it. Had to install the 64 bit drivers from my original Leopard disc.

    So right now I have Boot Camp 2.1 drivers installed, and no sound. Any ideas how to get sound running through my speakers?

    Does any of this matter if you intend to install Windows 7 in Fusion not Boot Camp?
    Thanks

    Sure thing. The 64-bit version of Boot Camp 3.0 is disabled by default on some 64-bit-capable Macs. No idea why, but solving it is simple (or was in my case). Do the following (I'm taking for granted you're using Windows 7):

    1. Click Start Button, Control Panel, System and Security, Change User Account Settings.
    2. Lower the slider down to "Never Notify".
    3. Restart Windows.
    4. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD. Don't bother running Setup; just open the DVD in Windows Explorer.
    5. Navigate to "Boot Camp/Drivers/Apple".
    6. Double-click on BootCamp64" (it has the [probably hidden] extension msi).
    7. Proceed with the driver installation. It should work.
    8. When prompted, restart Windows.
    9. Eject the Snow Leopard DVD.
    10. Go back Change User Account Settings and move the slider two notches up to Default.

    You should be done.

    new loader beta6 works fine with Macbook Pro 2,2 except for one thing - BootCamp's display dimming and brightening. When you try to dim display it freezes all system with strange dashes and rectangles on the screen. Looks some sort of ACPI problem.

    Same problem with original Hazard loader.
    No problem without loader (original Windows7 boot).

    So, if you want to try loader, disable bootcamp's systray icon on startup because it sometimes tries to adjust display brightness, and system freezes on very beginning of logging in.
    Bad thing, is that you can't use some apple advantages, like mac's trackpad multitouch/two fingers, mac function keys for display brightness, sound level etc., mac keyboard backlight, optical drive eject button and similar features in Windows.

    I use Bootcamp v3.0

    Hazard and zsmin - thank you for amazing bugfix!

    Regards

    What you are saying is unclear. Are the Boot Camp drivers actually installed in your Windows 7?

    Yes yes boot camp drivers 3.0 are installed
    What I did:
    Installed win 7 with bootcamp 3.0 from snow leopard. Used Windows 7 Loader Version 1.5 by Orbit30Hazar, then newloader_beta4, and then drivers from Snow. It worked, but there was a problem with the newloader_beta4 (blue screen in win 7 and it rebbot all time), then used then newloader_beta6, but now I dont have sound :confused:

    Sound is related to the Boot Camp sound drivers. If they somehow got damaged, you need to reinstall them, but I'm sure activation has nothing to do with your problem.
