    Hello!

    My first Apple computer! Very excited...

    I was installing XP over Bootcamp and I noticed that I couldn't get any of the drivers to work for the new graphics card, 8600m GT. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions... I tried pretty much every version of forceware that was suppose to support the 8600m GT...

    I get the driver to install, but everytime I try to run a 3d app, I get a BSOD with the complaint that nv4_disp.dll was infinitely looping. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Neither the 100 nor the 158.22 drivers with the hacked INF seem to work...

    Do you think it is becuase the 2.2ghz version of the MBP has less video ram than most other versions of the 8600m GT?
