[QUOTE="chaunce322, post: 732076, member: 36591"] Well I think I got this thing fixed. If anyone else encounters this problem, here's how to get around it: Make sure you have a clean install of Windows. If you tried installing the Bootcamp drivers and it blue-screened you, go back into OSX, remove the Windows partition, and recreate the Windows partition and reinstall Windows. When you get to Windows, insert the Bootcamp disc, but DO NOT run the installer. Instead, open the CD and copy the files to a folder on the desktop. Go into the file and remove the Broadcominstaller.exe. Then run the setup.exe from the root directory. This will install all the other drivers and complete the Bootcamp install without installing the Broadcom drivers, which may cause the system to error. Once that's done, you can install the Broadcom drivers from here: [URL="ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp39501-40000/sp39912.exe"]ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp39501-40000/sp39912.exe[/URL] Thanks to the folks on the Apple support forums for finding this.
