    I just got this new macbook pro 15 inch
    The specification is the one that's using i7.
    Installed Windows 7 as well.

    Everything seems to be working fine but the following
    - sounds
    - graphics card
    - wifi
    - in-built camera
    - bluetooth

    I've tried google and I only managed to fix 'sounds'.
    As for graphic cards, last I checked it's using the generic drivers which
    prevents me from playing games such as Dragon Age, Mass Effect, SC2.
    I tried going to the NVIDIA and installed the drivers as well but to no avail.

    I've been googling all day long and I can't seem to find any solution for
    the wifi, camera and bluetooth. Can anyone help me find the windows 7 drivers?

    I had this problem installing Windows 7 via BootCamp on my son's new i5 MBP. The problem was that I wasn't using the BootCamp disk from the new system (I left it in the office) and was trying to use the Snow Leopard upgrade disk as well as Boot Camp updates from the web. Apparently the only way to get the correct drivers was using the install disk that came with the computer.

    So ummm, what do I do now?
    Uninstall the whole thing?
    I was using bootcamp though to format partition the drive and such

    That's what I did. I tried it once, it failed. Undid everything. Tried it again. Failed. Undid everything. Third time using the right disk and actually following the directions worked.
