Anyone experience issue with waking up the latest MBP from sleep? It happened twice to mine recently. I close the lid as usual to put it to sleep. After a couple of hours when I open the lid, the screen is blank (as if it's not swithed on) but I can feel the hard disk is still spinning quietly.

Mac os or XP mode?

I still figuring how to make my machine wake up in XP mode without Restart the XP after few hours of Idle.

I had set Hibernate. But not sure issit the right way to do it. I am guessing is the Overheat in XP make the machine auto-shut down for protection.

I want my XP to be fast awake from sleep/standby mode like in Mac OS X.

Using Mac OS mate. I have tried googling for answers, most of them suggested using Terminal to tweak the sleep mode settings. Something along the line of switching the default sleep mode of #3 to #0. But the main issue here is I'd like to know what cause this happen?

There are times i couldn't rely on Mac OS.. such as Video or 3D rendering. I need the machine to render my stuff for hours. This is my only working machine.

I finally found a convenient image viewer days ago.

http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/xee.html

try this since it is free.. Exactly viewing picture like how we do in XP..

I actually feel fussy with the Command+A. It will select folders i don't want. It requires a few steps to do the job well than just a simple click like XP.

Hi guys,

Are you guys setting bootcamp XP at 1440x900 res?

I can only set at 1368x768 something around that.. Couldn't find a way to make it same high res as in Mac OS X...

did you install driver?

Yes i did. I had updated the latest Nvidia Driver 9600M from the official site only few days ago.
i had this situation since the first day i installed my XP(February).
I had googled around. I don't quite found people had this Resolution problem as mine?!.

I think it's about time to format my bootcamp XP due to games failed to run nicely compare to my dekstop PC.

I tried to install Sony Vegas 8 yesterday. It failed to launch. Yet my Desktop PC runs on a fly.
(I found that my bootcamp XP is unstable for gaming..hehe...Sound disappear or no sound. Same as i did try installed the latest sound driver.)

Hey Guys,

Is Bootcamp XP working just like our normal desktop XP at the similar performance and speed?
I felt it is not smoothing working as what i feel on my Desktop PC which is DuoCore 2.67GHZ with 8600M GPU card.

p/s: Mac OS X runs as a charm~!...haha...SEXY OS...

Nice share, man! .... Rivatuner is a gem. I had installed it and followed the setting from the page. It makes two of my problematic games runs as smooth as the desktop pc at HIGH RES.

Dead Space - No More Audio Gone when touching TouchPad. (Haha.. pls dun believe i am playing game with touchpad.. i just try to do everything wif a laptop.)

L4D 2 - No more Audio lag and Graphics Stunt.

Unfortunately Bioshock still no sound after load into In-Game.

This is a new knowledge for me to tweak the best performance in bootcamp XP.. I felt that RivaTuner seems to cool down the bootcamp XP slightly 20%.
So far, it seems no more sudden heat up once load into bootcamp XP desktop.

I will keep spending more time in studying how to tweak RivaTuner and more driver conflict information from the page you shared with me.

Indeed helpful.. At least it shows my machine are not really hardware issue.

Thanks alot!

p/s: Still no way to adjust screen res to 1440x900..haha...

that's only one thing left to make me still a satisfy customer which is the express slot in alu mbp.. (Ironically, i dun using it yet...gaga)

Indeed amazing fast to have processor speed bumping within one year.. Now Apple really starting battle with PC laptop spec.

The current upgrade & of cuz the pricing is more excited than the Ipad.

Anyway, in terms of outlook design. MBP still the same.
Now 17inch MBP could becomes the hottest choice.

Just close both eyes.. concentrate in my next gadget!...
( Make me No mood to consider ipad at the moment... Apple products is so unpredictable.

HAHA hope the next new iphone also cheap pricing.. I rather being called cheap and pay expensive for the apple product now.)
