[QUOTE="vanstee, post: 775174, member: 78983"] I just upgraded to Leopard and I decided it was about time to install Windows so I didnt have to use two computers to test websites in Internet Explorer and for a few other reasons. So I went through the steps, running the Boot Camp Assistant, installing XP SP2, and trying to install the drivers. Everything goes perfectly until I try to install MacBook specific hardware drivers. I boot into XP and put my Leopard disc in the drive and nothing happens. I have tried running the setup.exe manually just in case autorun was turned off and the prompt flashes for a second. I decided to see what the problem was and when I run the setup.exe from the prompt it says "Program is too big to fit in memory." I read somewhere that I needed to defrag before installing, but still no luck. I should have enough RAM as I have 2 gigs and I also have more than enough space on the HD as I made a 10 gig partition. I am using fat32 for the windows partition on a year and a half old MacBook. Any help or direction to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
