    i have a 15" MBP 2.2Ghz
    4GB ram, 128mb nvidia 8600

    OK, i just upgrade my stock 120GB hd to 320GB, So i reinstall leopard. I install all the system update and firmware update. Everything went fine.

    Ok, i create my bootcamp partition and install 32 bit window xp sp2, and also install the bootcamp from from the include system disc. Install reboot also fine.

    Since i planning to update to sp3 for my xp, i thought i should install the bootcamp update 2.1. So i dl the 2.1 update to my xp, and run the install, it install seems fine, but when i reboot, all video look mess up, it is only 640x480, and 4bit, i when i go to display to adjust setting i try to switch it to 32bit and higher res, but even after i click apply, it still stay the same! :(

    any one have similar problem and got any solutions?

    Thanks!

    there is a problem with your video card driver. the solution:

    - uninstall your video card driver
    (look to the stickies here for the proper method to do this)
    -reboot
    -upgrade your video card driver to the latest whql on laptopvideo2go (175.80)
    (again, the stickies here explain this)

    -then install sp3.

    good to go.
