iMac Radeo HD 5750 drivers with Windows 7 64 bit bootcamp?

[BrownR]

Hey guys, I just purchased Parallels last night and must have had an old trial version that was never removed because I thought it mentioned version 6 being removed in the process. Either way, 7 is up and running and is booting my Windows 7 64 bit bootcamp partition. The problem I'm having is the drivers....

It initially gave me errors with some AMD component (I still have 2 devices with the question mark? in device manager, not sure what they are), and it gave me an error with the graphics driver.

I've downloaded the ATI catalyst for bootcamp, newest version, nothing works it just defaults to the VGA driver and does not support 3d. Anybody know what's wrong? I feel like my money is wasted now... I needed 3d support for my work.

Thanks.

ATI drivers are for booting natively in Bootcamp.

When running inside Parallels the hardware is emulated and Windows doesn't 'talk' directly with the hardware, under Parallels, as far as Windows knows, there is no ATI/AMD graphics card. For best performance install Parallels Tools, these are basically drivers for the emulated hardware, including graphics card (under Parallels it will be named Parallels Video Adapter or something like that).

If you follow(ed) the steps laid out in the User Guide, including the installation of Parallels Tools, you shouldn't have any problems.
