![]() I can use Windows 7 for the few programs I need, but it is a shame about the other 30% of the screen that I have lost. It is hard to understand why Apple cannot include drivers for screen and graphics card in BootCamp that work correctly. I had been running for a while on 1250x ? (can't remember exactly).Īlthough CCC recognises that the monitor's maximum resolution is actually 2560x1440 this isn't available in the properties selector. I also finally upgraded BootCamp to 3.3, which seemed to kick the driver into recognising 1600x1200 as maximum resolution. Then I upgraded to the Radeon driver mentioned above. No one seems to recognise the monitor properly in Windows and for a while I was running with the default Windows drivers for a VGA monitor and generic graphics card. I suspect that part of the problem is the monitor. This seemed to be the only way to get the latest Catalyst Control Centre for my machine. I have ended up with using the latest Ati drivers for Mobility Radeon HD 5800, rather than the 5750 that Apple installed. In the end I reckoned that I needed the Catalyst Control Centre with its ability to rescale desktops and to correct aspect ratios for given resolutions, which is what I was looking for. This results in about 30% of my lovely 27in iMac screen not being used, but at least I can use what I have which is about equivalent to a traditional 22in or 24in monitor. Having done just about everything to sort this out my final situation is that I now have a non stretched desktop running at 1600x1200. Just in case anyone else is reading this with an interest in similar problems. Sorry to leave you with all these questions, but I really cannot use W7 under BootCamp for anything requiring screen precision at the moment. Trying other resolutions was no help and gave an even worse appearance as you might expect.Ĭan I totally remove ati*.sys files from Windows by deleting them from the System 32/Drivers folder and trying "Uninstall" device driver in Device Manager? Obviously I'll then loose my display, but then install something fresh like the latest Radeon Mobility again and see what happens? Might that corrupt my Mac side? So I'm still at square one with a stretched 1600x1200 screen. Tried to install the BootCamp display drivers, but I'm not sure what happened - it seemed to make no difference. The monitor, btw, is listed under W7 as Generic PnP Monitor or Generic Non PnP Monitor - no mention of Apple. Went back and reinstalled the original BootCamp 3.1 drivers from Mac OSX Install Disk - no luck. ![]() Then had an Apple Update to 3.3 suddenly came through. So far I've uninstalled all Ati software through Control Panel/Remove Programs which took me back to BootCamp 3.2 drivers. I've been at this all evening and thought I'd update you.
