Windows 7 mapping keyboard keys update#
I will update this post when I find out more. The brightness adjusting keys don’t seem to work though and I’m still testing whether or not sharp keys detects more keys with the boot camp application running in the notification area. Even with the faded volume status and sounds when increasing/decreasing the volume. The keyboard buttons, however now magically work. This is probably because the underlying MacBook hardware can’t be found on this Sony VAIO. NOTE: when the icon is right clicked (or the boot camp icon in the control panel is launched), the following error is seen. After the installation and subsequent re-boot, a gray diamond shaped icon will appear in the notification area.

A lot of drivers were installed (but since no matching hardware was found, they all remain dormant). Here are some screenshots of the procedure. This will launch the boot camp installation wizard. Change directory to the boot camp directory by typing “cd boot camp”. This should pop up a command promt at the root directory of your OSX dvd. Ignore the autorun notification and right-click the DVD icon while holding down the shift key, then choose “Open command window here.” Please see the disclaimer before you continue):

Here are the screen shots of installing boot camp on my Sony VAIO running Windows 7 32bit Professional (this procedure worked for me, but it it may very well make your computer unstable.

So I figured, if the windows boot camp software works on a MacBook running Windows 7, why couldn’t it work on a Sony VAIO or any computer running Windows 7? With the software installed and running in the notification area, guess what all the Fn buttons on my MacBook and even the USB aluminum keyboard work as advertised (including Eject, etc). Installing the software provides drivers for things like the trackpad…and – drum roll – the keyboard.

After installing a fresh copy of OSX, the process getting Windows 7 圆4 Pro installed on my Macbook with the boot camp Assistant went exactly as advertised.Īccording to the BC Assistant instructions the last step of the process involves installing the boot camp software within Windows using the OSX installation DVD. So this Thanksgiving weekend I finally had time to re-install OSX on my Macbook (tried creating a partition for windows using boot camp and was told to re-install OSX – just Google “bootcamp partition error”). Log out and back in or reboot to use your new special keys. Click Write to Registry when you’re done adding all your key mappings. Click Type Key to associate a key with the “From Key” mapping and likewise with the “To Key” mapping or just pick one of the choices and click OK. With your Apple Keyboard plugged in, unzip the SharpKeys download to your desktop and run the SharpKeys.exe executable. Grab a free copy of SharpKeys 3.0 from Codeplex A few hours of use later I found myself in a bit of a pickle though…the Apple keyboard has no Print Screen key, no Num Lock or Insert and it’d sure be nice to get those function keys to work.
Windows detected it as an Apple keyboard without any 3rd party drivers and with the exception of the Function (Fn) keys, I was using the keyboard in seconds. I figured if I just picked a used one up on eBay and hooked it up to my Sony VAIO running Windows 7 圆4 what’s the worst that could happen? It worked surprisingly well, that’s what happened. When you’re done remapping keys and you’re back at the main SharpKeys window, click the “Write to Registry” button to confirm your changes.I love the new aluminum Apple keyboard, but am too cheap to buy the iMac it usually comes with. Here, I’m turning off that Caps Lock key. Try a different USB port (wired keyboard). Check the keyboard’s battery level as it may cause performance problems. If the keyboard keys still won’t work after carrying out these basic checks, try the solutions below. On the right, select the top entry-“Turn Key Off”-and then click “OK.” Shut down the device, turn it upside down and then tap gently on the base to avoid risking damage to the entire unit. From the list on the left (the “From” key list), choose the key you want to disable. Here is a list of best free key mapping software for Windows. SharpKeys can also disable a key by mapping it to no action at all.
If you find it easier than scrolling through the lists, you can also click the “Type Key” button under either list and then just press the key you want to change. After that, I’m going to disable the actual Caps Lock key so I’ll quit hitting it by mistake. Here, I’m changing the Scroll Lock key-which I never use-to act as my Caps Lock key. Select the key you want to remap on the left and the key to which you want to remap it on the right, and then click “OK.” The list on the right is the new behavior you want it to assume-the “to” key. The list on the left represents the key whose behavior you want to change-the “from” key. In the key mapping window, you’ll see two lists.
