System Crash when Playing Warcraft 3 on MacBook Pro running Windows XP

I have the latest 2.4Ghz 15" MacBook Pro bought about a month ago. I installed BootCamp and Windows XP. Whenever I play Warcraft 3 on Windows XP, the system CRASHES and RESTARTS. This thing happens 100% of the time. Any suggestions?

I have seen a number of posts with similar problems across all PC hardware manufacturers. This is either a WOW 3 problem or a Windows XP problem. Either way... this is probably not the best place to get a response. Since you're basically running a PC while using BootCamp... I would suggest you post your comments in the WOW3 support forums. You may want to do a search there first as there are quite a few people with a similar problem and see if any of their suggestions help you out.

System crash when play music

after installation Windows XP Pro, seem ok but system crash when play music.
Can anybody help?

Are you using the onboard audio, or you have an additional sound card installed on your system. If you are using the onboard audio, check if you have a proper installation of the Realtek HD audio drivers, and if you are using another sound card, you have to disable the onboard audio controller in BIOS.

It all depends on what your useage of Windows will be, for playing games install it in BootCamp, for word processing, spreadsheets, email. browsing etc a virtual Machne will be fine.

Macbook Pro running Windows with Boot Camp, wanting to use iMac as second monitor.

I am using a Macbook Pro that is running Windows with Boot Camp. I want to connect it to my iMac so that I can use the iMac as a second monitor.
If it is not possible, I also have a TV that I could use using an HDMI, however when I tried this my Macbook Pro running Windows 8.1 did not detect it in the Display Settings.
What are my options? I just want to use my iMac or TV as a second monitor!!
Any help is appreciated, tMachanks!

MacBook Pro running Windows XP with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

When I got a MacBook Pro in 2006 I gave a small partition to my husband so he could log into his computer at the office. I used Boot Camp and an OEM WIndows XP disk. Everything ran smoothly for 5 years... last week he started having problems with windows and after doing some diagnostics and deletions we were able to get the system up and running.
I have recently gotten a newer MacBook Pro and decided I should wipe the old one clean, give him a larger partition and reinstall everything. SO... I downloaded lion wiped the drive clean and reinstalled system software. Opened up Boot Camp clicked download Windows support software got an error. After searching support found that Lion doesn't support XP... His company still uses XP and he's not that computer Savvy so it makes sense to keep him with what he's familiar with (plus who wants to buy another windosOS)... SO I decided to reinstall the original disk of Snow Leopard, re partitioned the drive loaded XP, used the Windows installer disk I originally made with the Boot Camp beta version I downloaded 5+ years ago and everything was hunky dory... till this morning when I logged on to his system to do further installs and it says that hardware changes had been made and that WIndows needed to be "reactivated" click here... so I do and find the internet connection was missing (?) Works fine on the mac so it's a windows issue.
So I put in the windows xp disk to see if I can reinstall the OS and get an error "no boot disc"... I just decided to start over but am wondering if I made a mistake using the "mac windows installers" disk I made years ago. I go on to support and tried to download a newer version of the installers and it wants to give me an older version of Boot Camp.(am now thinking I might have had regular leopard when I first set up the initial partition/install for Windows)
I realize this is all long winded and maybe somewhat confusing. Bottom line is... I have a macbook pro that I need to install Windows XP on. Am I on the right track (planning to reinstall the XP disk but NOT repartition, etc.) Should I go back to Leopard? Should I erase the partition and start over? is there more updated Windows drivers I should be using??? SHould I bite the big one and buy Windows 7 and go forward from there?

Ok, that's what I have done... I have Snow Leopard Installed, 10.8.6 and it's got Boot Camp 3.0.4... my questionis the Mac Windows Install Drivers you add after installing Windows. Windows looks terribly awkward and I'm guessing it has something to do with the ATI graphics card sofware the mac disk installed. Is is ok to use the one I created years ago? I can't seem to find a place to create a new one using the 10.8.6 and 3.0.4.
When I orignially installed Boot Camp you had to create a disk using Boot Camp that you installed in Windows after the initial OS installation.

Screen shots on MacBook Pro running Windows XP?

I'm trying to take some screen shots on my MacBook Pro while it's running XP. I know on a Windows machine there is a key for "Print Screen". Is there a keyboard equivalent for the MacBook? Or if not, is there another way to get a screen capture while running XP? Thanks in advance
Randy

I am trying to figure out the same thing. Did anyone figure out how to take a simple screenshot on the macbook pro in windows xp? Ive tried the alt + ctrl + P... that seems to want to print things. What is the equivilent to the print screen button from a dell machine to a macbook pro machine?
Thanks!

IPhoto keeps crashing when I 'export' and MacBook Pro SO slow

Hi - two questions but I think the second is the biggie!! I've looked at the forums and exported my data from my Macbook. Can anyone take a look and tell me why my MacBook Pro is so ridiculously slow? Is there anything wierd on the below?
Secondly, I haven't been able to export any photos from iPhoto for about a month as it crashes every time.

Sarah,
There's a lot of Sophos antivirus stuff actually running at the time of your report. If you take reasonable care and don't download pirated apps, you really don't need antivirus software on a Mac. It pretty much just slows the system down. If you decide to get rid of it, use the developer's uninstall, don't just trash it.

Macbook pro running windows 8.1 system thread exception not handled

Running Windows 8.1on MacBook Pro with dual operating system. Get BSOD on boot up with following message - system thread exception not handled but no error code. Have checked drivers all seem to be updated. Ran fine for a few weeks but Is happening daily also external speakers are not working - please help.

Was W8.1 installed using Bootcamp? Are BC drivers installed? What year/model is the MBP?

FaceTime disconnects when answered on my Macbook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2

Dear Apple Support Communites,
I upgraded to Yosemite back in November and have experienced a multitude of frustrations so far. My latest gripe is that FaceTime disconnects as soon as the person I am calling answers or as soon as I answer the caller.
When I first did a clean install of Yosemite it worked absolutely fine. Ringing on both my Macbook Pro and my iPhone 6 but now it doesn't ring at all on the Macbook Pro.
Every so often my Mac won't shutdown (Finder won't respond) and I have to turn off with the power switch. Pretty frustrating really and I wonder if this continued practice has resulted in the further issues I am experiencing currently.
If anyone can fix this issue I take my hat off to you. If you can fix both then I will eat my hat in its entirety.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
Best,
D

Thanks for your reply Linc.
I have tried that several times but it makes no difference at all I am afraid...

2011 Macbook Pro, running windows 7, two monitors?

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 13inch, running windows 7 with thunderbolt to dvi cable, can I use a dvi splitter to get two monitors with seperate desktops?
I am currently using an external montior for one extra desktop, but I keep needing more room.

If it was plugged in and recharging IN your backpack you probably got the battery hot. I don't know if there is an overheat auto-shut down feature for the battery.
It may have woke Windows up to tell you it got hot and then crashed or tried to shutdown and couldn't.
As far as the heat for the processor or ram, it does have an auto shut down for overheat situations but if it crash's and stays in limbo land then that part of it won't see it and it could damage things inside. Depending on how you had your backpack stuffed last time and this time it could just be a coincident on getting extra hot. Depending on what year MacPro you have you can either use the Hardware Test DVD that came with your computer (or press and hold the D key when it restarts) to check to see if it can find anything wrong.
Or you may have a hardware problem that makes it wake up or restart by itself and Windows just happens to have the right combination to trigger it. If it's still under warranty you may want to have Apple look at it?
Not to mention, if it's happened before then maybe it's time to see WHY it does it before it does do some damage?
Try putting it to sleep and see if you can replicate the problem while at home.

Macbook pro running windows 7 parallel vpn works in windows and not mac

I recently purchased a macbook pro. My medical management software runs in windows. I installed the software on the mac using parallels. If I'm at my home network/office I can access the server/program. When I try to access the vpn outside the network it won't work.

Parallels is supossed to be loaded on Mac OS platform and then you load Windows 7 on Parallels. The VPN is also supposed to be loaded on the Parallels platform. The VPN is not supposed to be on the Mac platform.
If you need to run the VPN on the Mac platform then you have to edit the set up of it because it is not the same as running in Windows. You'll have to ask your IT person about using the VPN on the OS X.

Two internal hd in macbook pro, run windows 7 and storage on optical bay hd

Hi, I've yet to do this, but I would like to put a 1tb hdd where the optical drive is. Ideally I want the ssd, which is currently where the hard drive normally is, to have osx on it, and the optical hdd to have Windows 7, and also be used for os x storage of photos, files etc.
Now my idea is that I take out my current ssd, put in the 1tb hdd, then, whilst it is in the original hard drive place, put windows 7 onto it with a partition of say 250gb, leaving the 750gb for storage for the osx. After doing this take hdd out, put into the optical drive bay, and return my ssd back into the original hard drive slot of my macbook pro.
Will this work, and then when I'm in os x mode, will I have a 750gb hard drive show up on my desktop for storage. Also will I then, on start up be able to choose if I want to log into os x of the ssd, or windows 7 of the 250gb (partitioned 1tb) hdd ???

That's up to you. You'll have an OS X volume on the HD, but you don't necessarily have to have the OS on it. I do, because I consider it useful if I want to experiment or if I have a problem with the SSD. My first SSD was an Intel, which did fail. Because I had a copy of the OS on the HD, I was able to keep running.

Spring 2011 MacBook Pro running Windows 7, burning up

Hello!
My MacBook is doing something really strange. With the lid closed, it wakes itself back up and begins running. The screen remains off; it just runs... without the fans. A few hours ago, I came back to my computer. It had beens sleeping running Windows 7 in my backpack while plugged in for a few hours, and you could literally cook an egg on it. It was that hot. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this? Has anyone had this happen before? What damage could my computer had sustained with that much heat? This isn't the first time this happened, but it has NEVER been that hot.
Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro running Windows Vista 64 bit

I have a business requirement to run Windows on my Mac. I have one of the new MacBook Pro's 5.1 with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz and glass trackpad. My question is should I buy the 32bit or 64 bit package? I need to run MS Office, specifically Access, and my version is Office 2003. I'd prefer Vista rather than XP only because I've used it previously and it more resembles the Mac OS than XP's desktop. I know that Windows 7 is around the corner but I've got to run with what's available. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Barry

True, Windows 32-bit, if run natively (ie. not in a virtual machine, in which case the whole 4GB isn't available anyway) will not see even the entire available 4GB. But it's a moot point. Even if running Vista 64-bit, MS Office is a 32-bit application - it is already RAM limited to 32-bit address space, regardless of what the OS is capable of. Sometime next year, MS may start shipping a 64-bit version of Office, but then again, when was the last time MS actually met a proposed shipping date with any product?
As I said, to take advantage of 64-bit computing, you need 3 things - more then 4GB of RAM, a 64-bit OS, AND 64-bit applications.
Barry - as to how you want to run it the main thing is do you need or want access to your OS desktop or files at the same time as running Windows? If you do then a virtual machine makes sense. I run VMWare Fusion on my work Mac Pro (which has 10GB of RAM) and have both XP 32-bit and 64-bit virtual machines. I simple run my virtual machine in one Spaces desktop, and have 3 other Spaces desktops for my OS X applications. From the Windows virtual machine, I can drag and drop files to and from my shared OS X folders.
If you don't care about simultaneous sharing of resources, then from a performance perspective, it makes more sense to use bootcamp and run Windows natively (since booting to windows will always give better performance then a virtual machine).
If you go the virtual machine route, and are eligible for the education discount, then I would order VMWare Fusion from Apple (actually, once your order is processed, you just get a download account for the VMWare web site, so you actually get near-immediate access to your product).
