macbook pro video issues
 

Anyone here using a Macbook Pro with bootcamp running XP? I bought my replacement laptop 3 weeks ago and have been having all sorts of issues with wmv video content. If my computer has been running for more than a few hours and I launch a wmv video, it freezes the laptop and eventually ends in a bsod or I have to force a power cycle.

I have tried backing out from Windows Media Player 11 back to 9 as I have heard there are wmv problems with WMP11, but that did not help. I am running the lastest version of bootcamp and all apple-supplied drivers. Unfortunately, I found out that NVidea does not release driver updates and officially doesn't even support their cards on laptops. I never had this issue with my previous Macbook Pro running the exact same config, although I did own it for only 2 months before it was stolen.

Any suggestions?

i only use XP on my mac when a certain someone wants to play Command And Conquer :) U bought the mac, run it mac :)

use the mac os?

I play wmvs just fine in osx...

I don't use OSX at all, I am using windows 100% of the time. I just like the mac hardware as its sleek, lightweight and very sexy!

such a waste!

It has nothing to do with the computer being on for an hour.

Something is wrong with your Codec or Player install..

Try a diff player...

True dat.. it is not your gf, it is a pro computer.
