VRAM issue on mackbook pro (bootcamp)

So i installed windows on my macbook successfully to play a couple games and run a couple of programs. the problem is i only have 64mb of VRAM allocated to my gpu while i should have 384mb (i have 4gb ram and upgrading to 8). is there a way to fix this?
SPECS:
Macbook Pro late 2011
Intel Core i5 2.4ghz
4gb RAM soon upgrading to 8
Intel Graphics 3000
500gb HDD

Once you have XP installed, it is independent of BC. My suggestion is to try the 4.0.4033 drivers.
From Bootcamp.xml file for 4.0.4033 (there is also a 64-bit version in the same package).

    I didnt get it sorted, i had to change my accounts to outlook.com and put an auto-fwd from old too new account.  It has something to do with the single sign on code as SVuxen mentions above but I couldnt get all my mac devices working on it so found it easier to change to new account....

    Are you saying you're running Windows in BootCamp or Windows as a Virtual Machine? You can increase the fan speed on the Mac using smcFanControl and use the software OGELTHORPE recommended to observe improvements.
    smcFanControl is a Mac application and doesn't work in Windows, but if you set a higher minimum fan speed (which is how smcFanControl works) while running OS X, when you reboot into a BootCamp partition, that minimum speed tends to be carried over.

  • Issues with Flash Pro CS5 on Mac

    Hi,
    I recently bought a MacBookPro 15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and CS5 Creative Suite. Built in Intel HD Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.
    Hi have some issues with Flash Pro:
    - when objects on the stage are quite big (for example a 800x3000 movie clip), it start showing strange colors and wrong position, however when double clicking the movie clip to edit it, it looks correct. Also no problem when publishing. See images attached, the first one is correct, the second one shows the problem, when editing the mc in the 2nd image i get the third image that is correct.
    Correct:
    Wrong:
    After entering editing mode:
    - after a while, when making a change in the stage or in the time line (deleting frames for example), it doesn't show it immediately, but i need to refresh the page. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
    - after a while it doesn't show when selecting an object, the object looks like is not selected, however i can see that it is in the properties panel.  This happens more when opening many fla in the same time.  Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
    Hi have been using CS3 and CS4 with less powerful computers before (always mac) and i never encountered these issues.
    Removing preferences and Application support files didn't help. I also updated Flash  to v. 11.0.1, but no joy.
    Does anyone know what's the problem?
    Thanks a lot.
    Mike

    Based on some searching and testing, it seems that if you redirect ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5 to a location on the local hard drive, rather than the network account storage, the problem ceases.
    I hope this helps anyone else who may run into this problem.
    Take care,
    Branden

  • "Mouse Over" issues in Logic Pro - Mountain Lion

    Hi,
    Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I spotted an issue with Logic Pro (Logic 9).
    In the Arrange window, when pointing the mouse at the end of a region, the pointer icon doesn't change to the looping (upper right corner of the region) or resize (lower right corner) icon.
    As a result, those functionalities (looping and resizing regions) are gone.
    Anyone having the same issue?
    Is there a way to solve this or do we need to wait for a Logic Pro update to get these back?
    Thanks in advance,
    A nice day everyone,

    No problem, as a professional musician using Logic I learned that lesson the hard way first time around. Hard as it was to not have the toys I soon learned that stability ruled the day....

  • Having issues with Surface Pro 3 downloading boot image over PXE

    Hi,
    We've recently started to buy the new Surface Pro 3 with the new USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter and we have some issues deploying them through SCCM. Basically, with the Pro 2 and Fast Ethernet adapter we have no issue at all, of course the deployment is
    a bit longer than on any other computer, but it is still quite faster than the latest Surface.
    We have the new 8.13.414.2014 driver injected in the Win 8.1 boot image for the USB 3.0 Gigabit adapter and all the drivers assigned to the new Surface in SCCM.
    The problem occurs when we try to load the boot image after choosing PXE, it takes more than an hour to load it when it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.
    I tried rolling back to the old driver (8.6.128.2013) and use the Fast Ethernet adapter, use the Fast Ethernet adapter with the new driver and use the new adapter with the old driver, but it's still slow in any case, so
    I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the new Surface and not the Ethernet adapter.
    Anyone have an idea what could be the problem here? Anyone having issues with Surface Pro 3 and SCCM 2012?

    I would imagine you have upgraded to R2, have you also applied KB2905002. 
    This hasn't got anything to do with the TFTP loading phase of the boot image.

    I already asked in that thread the same question, but how about normal PCs that are connected to the same network segment as the Surface devices, do they boot slow also?

  • Menu Bar issues on Macbook Pro

    I came across this problem with my mac where after logging in I noticed that the menu bar, specifically the battery and wifi icon takes atleast 5-10 mins to appear and when I hover the cursor anywhere on the right side of the menu bar it shows the spinning rainbow. Also the volume button seems to be greyed out as well and usually I have to plug in ear phones and it will go away but only temporarily. This never happened to my mac until today and for some reason I think it has to do with the installation of Adobe CS6 Master Collection. (yes, it was torrented. no, I wont do it again.) I did some slight research and on some website it said that there could be some applications recently installed that could have caused this to happen. If anyone has a solution I would very much appreciate it.

  • [SOLVED] Linux kernel 3.6.2-1 issues on Macbook Pro 4,1

    After my recent system upgrade to linux-3.6.2-1, I ran into a couple noticeable issues on my laptop.  The first was the inability to use "mount -i /home/user", which is in my .bash_profile, to mount my encrypted home directory at login.  An error message would respond saying that eCryptfs does not support aes.  I was able to manually mount it with "mount -t ecryptfs /home/user/.private /home/user", but could not figure out the issue.  I also noticed my laptop running a hotter that usual and found that my fans were not changing according to the sensors.  I use macfanctld from the AUR to change my fan speed and killing its process and restarting it had no effect.  I then decided my recent system upgrade may be at fault so I rebooted into linux-lts and the issues were solved.  I then downgraded linux-3.6.2-1, linux-headers-3.6.2-1, nvidia-304.51-4, virtualbox-guest-modules- 4.2.0-6, and virtualbox-host-modules-4.2.0-6 to linux-3.5.6-1, linux-headers-3.5.6-1, nvidia-304.51-3, virtualbox-guest-modules-4.2.0-5, and virtualbox-host-modules-4.2.0-5.  These issues are now fixed on my system with the downgrade and I have blocked them from upgrade in pacman.conf.  I did not notice any other issues.

    I felt it was necessary to post this issue, especially if another person also has it, so that it may be resolved in future kernel updates.  If there are any logs or other information people need to help resolve this issue or if I should notify a mod of this or something, please let me know.

    After further investigation the issues were easily solved.
    Regarding my encrypted home directory, I checked kernel.log and found that ecryptfs did not like the argument ecrypt_key_bytes=16 and that manual mount has the variable name ecryptfs_key_bytes=16.  So I simply changed that in my fstab.  Auto-mounting my home directory works nicely again.
    In regards to the fan issue, I had to alter /etc/macfanctl.conf because the output of the sensors command (lm-sensors) contained some negative values which may have affected average temperatures and such.  I excluded those temperatures and played with the constraints more until the fans spun faster when I felt they should.
    Still found it strange that some of these issues happened during kernel upgrades, but glad to have solved the issues.

  • Form issues in Adobe Pro for Macs

    Can someone tell me how to solve an issue regarding Adobe Pro 9 for Macs?  I have developed forms in Adobe Pro 9 but they can not be viewed in Adobe but can be viewed in Preview. How can this issue be corrected?

    This is interesting, because I've had the same thing happen to forms I've created. In a most recent example, the form was filled out by an external person (someone outside our agency) and returned. When I opened the file, on my Mac, i could see the data entered into the fields. When a co-worker opened the file, on a PC, she didn't see anything and mistakenly thought the form was blank. However you could click into the field and then see that data had indeed been entered into each field.
    I opened the file to see if there was something wrong with the appearance properties -- making sure that text color was not blank, and also making sure that I hadn't selected an obscure font. The text color was black and the font was Helvetica. On a whim I changed the font to Times and all of a sudden the data in each field was viewable. However, i changed it back to Helvetica and it remained viewable. So, the act of changing the font made the data fields display; it didn't matter what font I chose. I just had to change it.
    When I looked up file properties, i did notice that the PDF Producer is Mac OS X 10.6.7 Quartz PDFContext, and so does that mean it was opened and fields filled in using Preview?

  • Major Issues with Premiere Pro CC

    I am currently having some major issues with Premiere Pro CC running on my macbook pro(specs below).
    I am trying to export a 4 minute video using the vimeo 1080p export settings as I usually do, and it takes about 10 hours to export the video. On cs6, a similar project would take 5-10 minutes.
    Also, the video that was exported contained a lot of clips that came out choppy and low quality.
    I am currently on the phone with tech support, and they cannot seem to figure out what is wrong.
    I have seen a few post about CC having issues with amd cards, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated since this job is past due due to these issues.
