Before you do any of the steps mentioned below the line-break, check the bootcamp control panel first!!!
When in Windows, after everything is installed and done, do the following:
- Click 'Start ' (the windows logo-button in the bottom left corner)
- Type 'bootcamp'
- Open the bootcamp control panel. It will ask for administrator privileges, say 'yes' or 'ok' or whatever
- Configure the necessary settings for your startup disk, remote, keyboard and trackpad - these are the four tabs you should expect to see when the bootcamp control panel opens.
Your keyboard and trackpad should work (almost) perfectly. If not, read the answer that follows.
When you installed Windows the specific bootcamp drivers should have been installed automatically from your Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) DVD or 10.7 (Lion) DMG in the process. I would recommend trying to:
- Remove/Delete the drivers in Windows Device Manager
- Insert or mount the OSX DVD or DMG
- Restart your system (booting into Windows).
The correct bootcamp drivers should then be installed automatically from the OSX DVD. If the drivers were not installed, browse for them on the OSX DVD.
If all else fails you can always try re-installing Windows, and from there should be able to determine during the process if you have keyboard functionality.
★ The key to having the correct drivers working in bootcamp is installing them specifically from the OSX DVD or DMG.
