Apple Cinema Display on Windows 7 64bit Ultimate

New lovely i7 based Nvidia Quadro FX driven Windows 7 64bit PC imminently arriving..

Currently run XP Pro SP3 and the wonderful "WinACD" 32bit drivers that allow the Apple 20" I have to work 100% on Windows (resolution, USB ports,side buttons) etc. Unfortunately the developer of WinACD has ceased production so there's no support for any Windows x64. :cry:

Searched for ages round the net but no joy on drivers for the Apple that might work. Just wondering if it's going to be OK as a "plug and play" because I'm seeing a few people listed here with Win 7 x64 systems running Apple 23's and 30's in their system specs and they must be working else it would be hard to type their posts... :D Yet there don't appear to be any x64 drivers to be found.... :confused:

So...... just wondering if one of you kind souls running x64 Windows 7 and an Apple monitor would let me know how it's going for you? Perhaps Win 7 x64 is so advanced it doesn't need any..? ;) Here's hoping....

Cheers

Ok no takers! I know, it's a weird combination. Hopefully this will help somebody stop worrying.

I got my new Win7 64bit Ultimate today and without installing any drivers the Apple Cinema 20" I have (aluminium version) is working fine :thumbsup:


  • The monitor is recognised as Plug and Play but is named (automatically by Windows 7) as "Cinema".

  • The optimum resolution for this monitor of 1680 x 1050 was automatically detected and set by Windows 7

  • The power on off button works as does the brightness/backlight adjustment buttons up and down

  • The USB ports work fine though the device manager shows a Yellow warning triangle. I let Win7 try and fix this but it could not. However currently have a memory card reader and a USB WD Passport HDD plugged in and both working 100%.
  • Windows "Action Centre" reports no issues
So I was concerned for nothing really.
