Left 4 Dead Won't Run With Windows 7 Home on Mac *help*

yup that's what happened, it didn't install. Now what do I do?

I just tried it and it said it couldn't locate anything that was compatible to my set up???

Have you tried looking in Windows Update to see if there is a driver listed for your card? If you don't know how to get to it. Click start and in the box where it says search for programs and files type update and hit enter. Once Windows Update is launched click Check for updates on the left. After that is done look under both the critical and optional updates available but I believe if there is one it will be under optional.

Yeah I did that and installed all the critical and optional drivers except one optional one that was for security because it wouldn't install for some reason. But no video card drivers

Is there a newer version of boot camp than what you are using that comes with newer drivers? Maybe try installing the drivers from the OS X CD again. Make sure you are choosing 64 bit drivers.

I just looked on microsoft's website and it looks like a LOT of people are having the same problem. It looks like there is no driver out there for this car for windows 7?! People say they solved the problem and got everything to run but the directions are too confusing for me to follow

It's coming up in my settings menu as a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter"

I found this thread on a mac forum Apple - Support - Discussions - update NVIDIA drivers for 9600 GT M? ... they say to try and download this driver http://files.laptopvideo2go.com/Dox/...x64_185.85.exe

Not sure if it will work but if you have issues the people in that forum are more likely going to be able to help you out since this is really a Mac problem. They will be more familiar with hardware that is made for the Mac.

That's because it seems it's a card made for the Mac. It's up to Apple to release drivers for it. Or you can try an unofficial one.

it's a dead link to the file. I tried searching the site and found one that looked like it might work but I can't install it because it is a zip file for all these other files and none of them install? I tried the mac forums and no one is answering back

The file was from this thread Forceware 185.85 - NVISION
Scroll down on the first post to the download links (they will be in red) and choose VistaWin7x64_185.85. That laptopvideo2go site might actually be able to help you out as well if that driver doesn't work.

Just so you know I'm heading to bed now but will be back on tomorrow. Good luck in the mean time and please let me know if you do get it working.
