Mac users: Please get in here.

Soo yeah...i've installed Windows 7 via bootcamp and it's only for games. Everything runs smooth and stuff EXCEPT once in a blue moon, everything freezes in place, for about...I don't know, 30seconds to a minute or so? Nothing moves nothing works. I don't know why this is happening and it'd be great to get some feedbacks. I don't know if it's because I installed Windows 7 weird or just something with my Mac {Which I hope not :x }

Oh also, I downloaded MSN for mac, and for some reason I can't see anyone's pictures and I don't have a picture shown either. But on some people's Mac they have it o_o

 

hmm too timid of a topic title mooie

need to go Mortal Kombat on it


*ahem*

Mac users: GEEEEEEEEEET OVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER HEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

then maybe a spear rope or kunai rope and some white contacts and a yellow ninja suit.

as for your problem, sorry the only apple product i own is my iphone.

i googled it and i found this: http://www.palermo4.com/post/Windows-7- ... tcamp.aspx

 

my windows 7 does that too usually occurs after i open the lid to the laptop and it starts again from sleep mode
it didn't start happening until i got rid of the preinstalled windows 7 home premium and replaced it with windows 7 professional
tried goggle and some people said it was cause of drivers or what now but idk :S

 

Thankss Charlie!!

pando : I have Windows 7 Ultimate T_T I never close my lid tho. It sleeps when I do >< Did you fix the problem?

EDIT: Charlie I tried the method; but when I d/l drivers from NVIDIA they say they can't find the files for that chip or w/e o.o

 

well what is the graphics card of your macbook? Try downloading the drivers for what ever you have. You may not necessarily have a nVidia card

 

All Macs come with NVIDIA o_o
I have GeForce 320m. I downloaded right off there.

 

I thought most people buy Mac's because they dont want to use windows related products? lol
Now I'm confused...

 

I use parallels and I use XP not win7 so I'm not sure what your problem might be there, most likely its the windows software not the mac. Also, for MSN mac go Messenger > Preferences > Appearance > and check "allow others to see my display picture"

other than that I'm not sure what else I can do to help you... on the contrary, do you know how to run java programs on mac?

 

Occasionally, if I jostle my macbook to hard or set it down to hard or something my bootcamp freezes up exactly like you say. It's possibly just your HD being shaken. I couldn't say for sure though.

 

I'm a little late..but this issue is unresolved...

Not true. Bootcamp on Mac is designed to allow you to install Windows ON the Mac, solely for the purpose that some things just refuse to be compatible on the Mac OS. You get the best of both worlds in one laptop. But who are we kidding, Windows is barely the best of anything.

Okay, DP still refuse to show. I downloaded to Mac MSN 7, still no show.
But ahm...i'm not too sure..usually I try to avoid it by using Windows.

I don't move my Macbook around a lot at all. Half the time it's set on the desk when this happens.
