I have just installed Windows XP Pro on Boot camp with a 10 GB partition on a new macbook pro and I cant get any internet connection, wired or wireless. Furthermore when I move folders round, the rendering seems slow as I am not sure if it is recognising my graphics card? Or do I need to update the drivers on Windows XP. My main priority is to sort out the internet connection though as it works fine on OS but not even a prompt to say there is an available connection on XP. I went through the normal route of trying to manually set up an internet connection but it didn't identify any.

Hi Stacyb,
basically I installed XP on Fat32 I think, then once I had gone through the entire windows install and windows was running, I inserted the leopard DVD. This then either autoran in windows, or I double clicked on it in my computer (I don't remember) then it installs on the drivers for your hardware and internet for you. After the drivers are installs it prompts you to reboot your computer, and windows should be fully functional with internet and hardware

jlinton85, satcomer, stacyb--thank you for your posts. My son and I were experiencing the same problem as jlinton85; but was able to resolve the internet connection with Windows XP because of your replies. I wish the Apple Store had told us that we needed to insert the Leopard CD while the Windows OS was running. It would have saved hours of confusion.

Please help me anyone! I installed the drivers from my leopard cd (10.5.3) in windows after boot camp did it's thing, but I cannot access the web. The network connections shows that I am connected, but I can't even validate or register my windows xp or other installed programs, so I get the 30 day period message. I don't want to use windows to surf the web as I have read that leopard leaks. All I want to do is register my software installations but I can't! Ugh! So frustrating! Can someone please help me? Thank you kindly =)
