Boot Camp – Getting 3D Acceleration Working in Windows 7 64-bit on Mac

64-bitboot-campmacmacbookwindows 7

I've installed the Windows 7 RC 64-bit edition under boot camp, but I'm have zero luck getting the 3D acceleration working.

I've installed all the Mac drivers (including the 64bit Nvidia ones on the OSX install cd), I've also run the windows update and I still am not getting the full aero desktop.

I'm trying to do this on the latest unibody Macbook, with the duel NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT.

Any advice?

I just installed Windows 7 x64 on a 9400M Mac Mini over the weekend. I have full Aero and 3D games work great. Just hit up http://www.nvidia.com:

  • Click Download Drivers
  • Product Type: Geforce
  • Product Series: Geforce 9M Series (Notebooks)
  • Operating System: Windows 7 64 bit
  • Click Search

Download and install the drivers, and you'll be good to go.
