I just installed windows XP on my MacBook pro. I followed the instructions perfectly. Here are a few notes.
\nYou really need a USB keyboard and USB mouse – the MacBook keyboard and mouse pad will not work until you install the mac drivers. I used a PC USB Keyboard and a targus USB mouse – just peachy.
\nCTRL-ALT-DEL (to bring up the Task Manager) is CTRL-Shift-ESC.
\nI had corrupted images when using Windows Media Player as a plugin in a web browser. Go to Display Properties (Right-Click on Desktop Select Properties) -> Settings -> Advanced -> Troubleshoot -> Set Hardward Accelletation to the third clik from the left. It says “Disable all Directdraw and Direct3D accellerations…”. I kept “Enable write combining” turned on.
\n— Continued —-
\nI installed remapkey (using the resourtce kit tools) and mapped the del key to the right windows Key (the right Apple command key) so I can do CTRL-ALT-DEL.
\nAlso I will need to turn on and off the Hardware Accelleration when I use Pinnacle Studio as it really wants DirexctX.
\nMy oinly remaining problem is the lack of a right click. There is a software solution to this, but I think that I will stick with a USB mouse because the solution is a third party thing. SO fart I have used official stuff.
\nSo far so good running Windows XP on my Macintosh. Now that it works – probably back to the Macintosh Operating system. I frankly don’t exactly know why I wanted to do this – but I did :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
