did you tune the bootcamp setting? under touchpad tab. Tick the box stated 'Tap to click'

yes done that.

Guys, I'm gonna start the VMWare Fusion 4 trial soon. But after the trial finishes, I may intend to purchase it. Is there any way to get it online easily from a trusted source?

If there isn't any, I might just get it off the Online Apple Store Malaysia; and have the boxed set shipped to me which has the DVD and USB key as well.

Any feedback is much appreciated!

i'm also facing the same problem. stuck at 20%.

in fact i've already installed windows, just that i couldn't find the drivers.

maybe someone here can help share the drivers with us?

I'm using Mid 2012 13" MBP. OSX 10.8.

you can buy online from vmware.com. it's cheaper.

hi all. i have vm fusion 4.1.3 and successfully installed a new copy of windows, but my problem is, previously i'm using vmware server and have few virtual windows with the file extension of .vmx, now i wanna access this drive in my mac or vm fusion. how can i do so? kindly help?

ignore the stuck, just put it there and it will finished

ok. will try it tonight.

EDIT:

took about 6 hours for it to finish download. in the end, it rejected my CD-R!

so my question now is, did the bootcamp assistant store it somewhere in my Macintosh HD? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I wanna use windows 7 on my MBP15(2012) for gaming..

Its solely for gaming ONLY

Which software should i use to run Windows ?

Parallel or BootCamp?

i suggest bootcamp

Guys, I desperately need help...

At first, I was having problems booting up my bootcamp... The bootcamp screen just stuck here like this

After that, I've tried deleting and creating a new bootcamp partition.. Still the same result, just black screen ...

I've even tried resetting the PRAM, still no luck...

Then I've tried to format the entire OSX and then.. Still no luck...
The thing is, I immediately backup my data after I've format my HDD...
I'll try a clean install and install bootcamp first before I backup my data...

If anybody have faced this problem before and have a solution please tell me what to do...

I've been searching for a way to solve this for 2 days...

For gaming, use BootCamp. Parallel is not recommended because it is actually running 2 OSes at the same time, therefore it may reduce your game's performance. And also using parallel to play game will drain your battery really really fast.

Also, BootCamp is more stable because you install Windows on your MacBook like you install it on any other PCs. So, it is highly recommended if you wanna game.

My Mac specs:

Mac Mini (Late 2009),
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz,
RAM 2GB - self upgraded to 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 (surprised that it actually supports 8GB)
Geforce 9400M graphics (shared memory 256MB)
Stock HDD 160GB
Snow Leopard (Stock OS)

1. Did a clean install of Mountain Lion using USB stick.

2. Started Boot Camp Assistant:
*Checked Windows support software box -> proceeded to download Windows drivers but stuck at ~20% for a long time. So, restarted Boot Camp Assistant, unchecked driver download, proceeded to partition and install Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) (25GB partition).

3. Windows 7 installation completed. Booted into Windows -> all devices not recognized due to lack of drivers. The diamond-shaped grey Boot Camp icon is also missing from the right side of taskbar Ugly large fonts, no sound, etc, etc.

4. Googled and found all boot camp drivers at http://support.apple.com/downloads/#bootcamp. Downloaded Bootcamp 3.2. Unfortunately, it is not possible to install Bootcamp 3.2 straight away onto the fresh copy of Windows 7.
Upon trying, one is greeted with a prompt asking for Bootcamp 3.1.
Installing Bootcamp 3.1 requires 3.0.
*But 3.0 is found only in the Snow Leopard OSX Install DVD
Every other version of Bootcamp can be found here but not 3.0

5. So, popped in my Snow Leopard OSX Install DVD. Explored to Boot Camp folder, ran the setup.exe file. Nvidia drivers installed, then nothing happened for ~10minutes, suddenly a window popped up saying all drivers have been installed and to restart Windows. Voila! Welcomed into Windows by the familiar startup tune and the display is once again sharp, pristine.
The Boot Camp icon is also visible on the taskbar, it read Bootcamp 3.0
Proceeded to update to Bootcamp 3.1, then 3.2

6. Anyways, there is a black screen with a blinking cursor on the top left corner lasting ~30 seconds before booting into Windows 7. Normal I guess. Currently running Windows 7 without a hitch.

Average frame rate ~15 using Parallels 5 in Snow Leopard
vs
Average frame rate ~50-60 using Windows XP in bootcamp.

So, for gaming -> go for Bootcamp.

how to disable parallels dynamic resolution in windows mode?

running is parallels window mode it gives me very ugly resolution

i got this experience before...after i install the window 7 i left the installation key in the cd rom then it keep booting into cd...and after that the blank screen..i removed the cd and everything solved..

btw..the initial loading of window kinda slow too...it takes me about 10 minutes to boot up window...after that everything smooth back

Guys what are the methods i can install windows onto bootcamp ?

Thumbdrive can ah ? No idea how to burn the file as a program onto the CD scared cannot install..

You can directly use a window installer disc to install the window onto the Bootcamp preferable you perform the Bootcamp installation method correctly. If your window installer comes with just a file, convert it as an iso image and burn to a DVD disc or Pendrive. If I am not mistaken, 2010 model of Mac can't support Pendrive window installation but a 2011 model can.

Im using the 2012 MBP.. So i guess thumbdrive is okay ? In thumbdrive need to change it to ISO ?

just use bootcamp assistance, follow the instruction.

It will ask you to select the windows ISO and also which media to burn the ISO. Thumbdrive or DVD will do.

I bootcamp my retina mbp using 16GB Transcend thumbdrive but 8gb will be enough.

Takes a while to download the windows support driver. After installed, just to be sure I run the windows support driver exe again in the thumbdrive.

Parallel desktop 8 announced! Now it VM5 vs PD8
