I recently got a new Macbook Pro, and I love it, except that some of my programs aren't switched to Intel macs, and run very slow -- one won't even let me double click on anything! They run fine with my iBook G4 though, so it must be the Intel. Well, I can just take advantage of the Intel, no problem! I'll set up a Windows XP OS with Boot Camp! I download Boot Camp, and do everything I need to, and when I get to the screen in Setup where I need to hit [Enter] to continue in the setup, I can't hit anything! First I think it won't pick up the key, so I try the Caps Lock key, and the light won't go on. So my keyboard won't work in Boot Camp! That's a problem. I can't get past that screen in order to install the drivers I need.
Can anyone give me any suggestions? I've heard things about using USB keyboards, but I'm not sure whether to get one or not. What should I do?
Thanks,
Chris K.

Edit:
I looked at the CD again, and realized it's not SP2. Will I have to buy a new CD with the SP2 on it, or can I just somehow slipstream it? I'm new at this kind of stuff, any help is greatly appreciated

Slipstreaming is EASY. Read the sticky thread at the top of this forum. It is EASY; you just need access to a Windows computer so you can run the slipstreaming feature...
