Okay, I've got WinXP installed via BootCamp, and eveything is mostly okay.

One weird thing, tho. Every time I boot up, Windows thinks my Apple Keyboard is "New Hardware" and reinstalls the driver, and whenever I shut down or restart, the "KbdMgr" (which I suppose must be the Keyboard Manager background application) interferes and has to be shut down (manually or automatically).

Any ideas on how to fix this? Dang, Windows is weird. Mac OS X is soooooo much better it's not even funny.

I just got a 15" MacBook Pro and installed Bootcamp. I don't have to reinstall the driver for my keyboard but that "KbdMgr" does come up every time I quit or restart Windows. I am also looking for a way to get it to stop. Good luck! Wayne Welsh
