Hello fine, knowledgeable people of the Mac Forums. You have come to my aid before and I do hope you will be able to help this time.
I have noticed there are a lot of posts here about wireless not working on the Windows side when one partitions their hard drive. That is indeed my problem. I have read all of these posts, and have followed some of the suggestions but to no avail.
Here is what I am working with:
MacBook Pro
Mac OSX 10.58 (This is Snow Leopard, correct?)
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz
Memory: 2 GB
This is the problem I am having: When running Windows I can access the Internet with an ethernet cable. But when I unplug it, I can still actually load a page and it says I am connected to my local network, but it won't go any further than slowly loading a page. (That seems better than some of the issues I have seen here with wireless not working at all.) At least I am connected but something is preventing it from properly loading.
When I installed Bootcamp it was version 2.0. I tried to upgrade the latest drivers (When running Windows) but it said that I needed to have 3.0 Bootcamp or later. So how could I do that? Uninstall Bootcamp and start all over again?
I also heard that I should put in my Windows disc and look for driver update or something like that. When I put in that disc the only option is to install Windows. I see no other choices.
Let's see. what else have I tried?
I have noticed the two issues are volume and wireless. For instance, when I play a PC game (EQ2) my volume is all the way up yet it sounds about halfway capacity. That definitely seems like a driver problem.
So it seems to me that I need some kind of update or upgrade but I don't know what it is.
I put the Snow Leopard disc in when running Windows (At least I think I have Snow Leopard) and it installed but still no progress.
Sorry for the long, rambling post. Just wanted to give as much detail as possible. So to sum up, Internet works in Windows with ethernet cable and is slow-hardly loads with wireless.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
