I've had the same problem. The setup utility won't accept my WPA2 (I believe, could be mistaken) password, and won't ever connect wirelessly. I wrote it off after 5 minutes of trying and just plugged it in to get what I needed.
Then the external monitor out settings wouldn't play well with the Windows display setup control panel. In OSX, it figures out what is plugged in and what resolutions to run the various displays as. In Windows, I have to tell it what I want and run the configuration utility every time I plug in to my TV.
Then Windows pops up little balloons telling me that "you might be in danger!" and "register your product within 30 days or I'm shutting down!"
It took 3 reboots to update the software from windowsupdate.com, and the cherry on top was Windows Genuine Advantage, which tried to install software that restricts usage of the computer.
All of this to play Colin McRae '04 on my telly.

there is a windows hotfix on their website. Sadly, i forget which one because I put bootcamp on this almost a year ago...
goto their (MS) support page and search for the WPA HOTFIX

Did you make the driver install CD using Bootcamp?

Anyone want to make this thing work for a fee?
