Franck Dernoncourt,

I've never heard of it working well when using Boot Camp. If you want it to run on a Mac, the best solution is to contact www.rjcooper.com for their software package.

Thanks, long story short, I need to use Windows 7 on a Mac this summer, and was hoping that SmartNav would work on Boot Camp :(

Out of curiosity, why does SmartNav have issue with Boot Camp?

Franck,

Applications which attempt to grab all user input and redirect it to a source other than the current desktop (VMWare, Remote Desktop, etc) may interfere with the SmartNAV. There may be a way to make it work, but you would likely need to get the troubleshooting steps from the makers of VMware.

Mike, just to be in the same page: I was asking whether it is possible to use SmartNav with Windows 7 running on Boot Camp. No other OS involved, unlike virtual machines or remote control.

Franck,

I have had users claim success when using Boot Camp, but I have not personally had success with it.
