Overheating MacBook running Windows XP with CAD program

Every time I run the Autosketch program with Windows XP, the laptop overheats and the fan becomes extremely noisy. The over heating occurs only when in Windows.
What can I do to overcome this problem?
Thanks for your assistance.

welcome to windoze.
you'll have to contact the software vendor, it's their app doing it, must be running the CPU / GPU pretty hard. My guess is that the fix is probably a desktop machine with good power & cooling.
tho a good machine, macbook is a consumer oriented machine that wasn't designed to run pro CAD software.

    I have a PC running Windows XP (yes an antique) with CS3 Photoshop and InDesign and lightroom 2 (yes all antiques). I have acquired a PC running Windows 7 with no programs. I also have a MacBook pro  with full CS5 suite. The programs were already loaded with I got it as a gift. Question 1. If I find serial numbers used to download programs to the old PC, can those CS3 programs be put on the newer PC. Question 2. I really want to put CS5 suite on PC machines. Is that possible? Especially since my MacBook is showing some hard drive problems.

    You should be able to get the CS3 programs installed and running on the new pc since CS3 is spec-ed for Windows 7 Service Pack 1.  Downloading the programs does not require a serial number.  You can find them here:  Download CS3 products  but you will need the serial number to activate the programs.  You might be able to find that thru your Adobe account online.
    You will not be able to install the CS5 Mac version on a PC and you won't be able to trade it to a PC version either due to it being an older version.  Trades are allowed only for the latest version (CS6)

    You should post that on the Boot Camp  forum, that is where all the Boot Camp and Windows guys hang out.
    Good luck.

    Thanks for the reply with additional information.
    Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
    being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
    that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
    to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
    Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
    But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
    Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
    version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
    a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
    b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
    driver version roll back.
    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.

    Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
    later versions of Premiere Elements.

    Hi there Br0x,
    You may want to try rebuilding the iTunes library as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • I updated my PC running windows XP with itunes 11.4.1 and received numerous errors.

    I updated my PC running windows XP with itunes 11.4.1. Had to install manually. After doing this I received an error message 'mobile me services can't be located'. Went to check icloud and icloud won't open because procedure entry point could not be located. Rebooted and get entry point error on reboot.
    What is the fix?

    For all Windows OS to fix this perform the following.
    1. Go to Control Panel
    2. Remove previous version of iTunes
    3. Remove Apple Update
    4. Remove Bonjour
    5. Remove any other affiliated iTunes download.
    6. Return to Apple  >> Download iTunes may indicate it will fail to download but reattempt it will download,
    7. Once downloaded it may download as (iTunessetup_exe)
    8. Right click on the download and change the file extension to a .exe
    9. Install should be successful.
    I performed all the steps and my iTunes works fine.

    Thanks

    I am not sure, but the best Free App is Google Drive, you get 15 GB free storage which you can upload photos , videos and files, pretty much amazing, also I have read news that Microsoft is planning to have iOS office 365 but cost annual subscription fees almost 99$ kinda lame, try also Cloudon App, is very nice app , you can use word , power point and Excel

    I'm running windows 8 with PSE 11 ans some of my pic don't display only a gray box with a paper in side it, when i go to a albums most of my pic don't display

      Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
    Edit à Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
    If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache by navigating to:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\MyCatalog
    In side the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
    thumb.5.cache
    After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
    N.B. The ProgramData folder is sometimes a system hidden file, in which case please follow these instructions before starting.

  • Overheating while using Windows XP with Bootcamp

    Hi,
    I bought a MacBook Pro last September 2009. The MacBook Pro came with Leopard but I installed Snow Leopard a couple of weeks later.
    I need to use some Windows-based programs so I am using Windows XP with Bootcamp. However, I notice a high overheating when using Windows on Bootcamp (especially on the left side of the keyboard). Until now, the system doesn't crash but the overheating is a big problem for typing. This problem does not appear while I work on Snow Leopard.
    Please, I would appreciate any help. I installed "SMCFanControl" but it only works under OS X (where there is not the problem). It doesn't control the fan on Windows under Bootcamp. Also, for this, I installed "SpeedFan" but it doesn't recognize the fans.
    Thanks in advance.

    A little solution that has helped me.

    Input Remapper
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Input-Remapper.shtml
    This program allows you to adjust your fan speed without having to restart from Mac OS. Which is nice because with SMC if you close your macbook while running XP it will turn the fans off. Therefore you have to restart in Mac OS to turn the fan speeds back up.
    The combination of the two has kept my cpu in the 65c range while heavy gaming and 45c at idle.
    I have tried a lot of the ridiculous things that have been mentioned in both this thread and others. This solution has been an incredible relief because I certainly didn't want to get up every so often to run to the freezer or play over the air conditioner for several hours. I hope you have as much luck as I did.
    My Mac is a late 2009 Macbook pro and I'm running XP in bootcamp.

  • ARD issues - MacBook Pro to partitioned MacBook (running Windows)

    I really have read all I can before making this posting - so apologies if this issue has been addressed before.
    Goal - to allow MacBook Pro (OS X 10.4.9) to observe and control Windows running on a partitioned MacBook.
    Issue - I can observe and control the MacBook when it is in Mac mode, but when the MacBook is in Windows mode, just can't get the connection. I have installed VNC onto Windows, I have opened both ports 5900 and 3283.
    When I view the MacBook in Windows mode I can see the computer and it's status is "VNC ON" - but still no connection. I have even removed the firewall completely - but still no luck.
    Any suggestions are welcomed.

    MacBook Pro 17   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Also a MacBook

    Have you tried a different VNC client? Some work and some don't, it seems, particularly when dealing with Intel-based Macs. I believe most people who have success are using RealVNC, but if you search for "VNC" in this forum, you should find reports of what works and what doesn't.

  • Running Windows Server with Hyper-V on Toshiba Laptop

    I will soon be in charge of a Windows server that my company is purchasing to run SQL Server off of. In order to further prepare myself, I want to get some extra practice outside of work with it. However, I'm thinking that my computer's requirements may
    not be up to par - and I can't really afford to buy a new computer at the moment.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows 8.1 with an AMD A6-5200, 4 GB RAM and a 600 GB hard drive (HDD, not SSD). I have the book Training Guide: Administering Windows Server 2012 - and it suggests a computer with at least 8GB RAM. Also - the books
    examples and exercises use Hyper-V for virtualization.
    If my computer couldn't handle doing the exercises and examples - would Windows Server 2008 be a better idea? If so - could you point me in the right direction of guides/books/tutorials for Windows Server 2008 system administration?
    Thanks,
    -Chris

    You can try running the VM with only 2GB of Memory. Also, make sure that no other program is running in the same time other than your hypervisor. You might see some slowness on the VM that way but it should be good to do some practices.

  • When I run activity monitor with no programs running my dock shows fluctuating usage...between 4% up to 20%.  Random figures that come and go with corresponding CPU usage.  A little help?

    My activity monitor show random and fluctuating CPU usage at the Dock site with absolutelyno programs running.  %'s fluctuate between 3 - 20 and they pretty much come and go.  What might be causing this?

    There's a lot of background processes running that aren't documented as Apps as such. And some of them are the Time Machine backups, Spotlight searches, all kinds of small little bits of maintenance caches, there's a lot going on. So it's not completely out of the question that this is 'normal' for a Mac. If it were 50% or more I would be concerned but if it spikes up to 20% for a second or two you are probably not in any trouble of any kind.

  • Use external monitor w/ Macbook running Windows in Boot Camp?

    Within the Mac OS, I close the lid to my Macbook and then hit the spacebar to then use an external 20" monitor. When running Windows within Bootcamp, I shut the lid of the Macbook, but cannot get the external monitor to show an image. How can I get my external monitor to work when using Windows XP within Bootcamp, once I shut the lid to the Macbook?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, while on Windows XP you have to do it "the microsoft" way! To switch displays, just press Fn + F7 until the image shows at the tv.. tell me if it worked (imho this way better than the "close the lid and touch the external mouse" trick)

  • How to create an install medium of Windows 8 with custom programs (like an OEM install)

    Hello all,
    I am interested in setting up a small business of making PCs for people around my area, and was curious if there was any way I could install Windows 8.1 on those computers with custom programs (i.e. Browsers, Anti-virus, etc.), but not have to create a user
    account to do so? I want people to get these computers and go through the regular setup account process when they turn them on for the first time, just like with any computer from a regular OEM. Basically, I am trying to create my own OEM instillations of
    Windows.
    Thanks for any help, and let me know if I need to clarify anything.
    Graham

    Hi,
    Andreas is right, we have many ways to deploy Windows 8.1 like OEM.
    You can also try the ADK:
    Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=39982
    The Windows ADK enables two key scenarios: Windows deployment and Windows assessment.
    Windows Deployment is for OEMs and IT professionals who customize and automate the large-scale installation of Windows on a factory floor or across an organization.
