Now use Windows Update to update the software and the hardware drivers. That can be done through the Windows control panel Programs and Features. The downside to Boot Camp doing it is you will have to remove it later on – you will not use the Boot Camp software for anything except this one action. Launch Boot Camp and let it install all your drivers.

Then reboot and hold the mouse button down – this will eject your DVD. The goal is to just delete the Mac hard drive from the list that is presented. Gparted will automatically launch and has an interactive menu. Select the GParted disc you just created. Installing: Now do an Option key reboot – restart the computer holding down the Option key. You might be able to fit them on a CD-R by removing the drivers out of the Boot Camp folder you do not need, but DVDs are cheap these days, so save yourself that extra step. Now burn GParted and the Boot Camp 4 applications to a blank DVD. I did not try Boot Camp 5 – perhaps someone else can and will let us know if it works.

Rather than apply the rather lengthily workaround that was suggested (but questionable), I instead got to thinking: Most, if not all, the hardware in the Mac Pro are standard PC cards or PC chips – the processor, RAM, video (nVidia GeForce GT 120), sound, network, and the like all had PC roots and PC drivers. Trusting DuckDuckGo, I went out on the web to search for it, and in three Windows forums, fellow Boot Camp users were reporting the same issue with their apps. Uttering a few swear words that would peal the paint of a ship, I rebooted. Coming back, I decided I would check Facebook, and again the same memory error occurred after just 5 minutes. Suddenly it quit to the Desktop! An error message appeared whose details basically told me that the game had violated rules on memory. The adrenalin was coursing through my veins as I sent in 94 Defiant class ships armed with the experimental “Critical Shot” ability through the wormhole to begin the destruction of Romulan forces.
