BSOD
 

Got the Blue Screen of Death early today :(

I am playing through BootCamp (Windows XP) on a Macbook Pro 13in, and for the first time since i dumped my PC about 2 years ago i re experienced the BSOD lol it was an interesting feeling, mid conversation with friends, and mid fight with a spectre my screen blacked out then went blue and gave me that horrid message :P

I'm trying to re partition my hard drive and reinstall a fresh copy of Windows 7 (might as well upgrade)

few questions

1. Does Windows 7 have any problems running Project1999? Would i be better off using Windows XP like before?

2. Any mac pro's out there that can help me with a stubborn boot camp problem?

Windows 7 runs games, including EQ, very well.

HOWEVER, the recent SP1 introduced a bug that may cause you to crash to the desktop without warning. It is an issue with games that use DX9.

The patch available through this link fixed my issue.

Running WinEQ fixed that problem for me :)

I run it on a 13inch macbook with bootcamp. used my installer to set it up (see my signature). Works great. No issues.

Wrong forum.

#1 issue that causes BSOD in boot camp on mac laptops is overheating

Mine does quite a bit of over heating haha Good to know, though, I have been needing to purchase one of those cooling decks for my mbp, so i dont melt this ho down.

that'll do it. I used to bsod on my macbook all the time while playing eq; since i put it on a desk with a laptop cooler it hasn't happened once.

I play with a 13 inch Macbook Pro using XP with parallels. Before that I used Windows 7 and bootcamp. No overheating yet.

Also been playing on a 15" Pro, but I use XP with bootcamp and it works flawlessly. Can't wait to get my new one with thunderbolt /drool
