Xp Help - Boot Camp

    Ok, so I reinstalled Xp on my MBP after saying I'd never do it again, I miss games.

    Basically the following is happening.

    First off, at random times the sound on or offline will slow right down until it sounds electronic or bitty if you catch my drift. This is really annoying.

    Secondly, I can connect to the internet (wireless) no hassle for a few minutes and then it gets knocked off and I have to reset the router/modem. (Eircom)


    Thirdly, my screen is set to the same resolution that it is in Leopard (1440 X 900, I think) and while in Xp I get a really high pitched noise coming from it. Also quite annoying.

    Lastly, when installing a game I am told that binkw32.dll is missing.

    Please lovely people, fix my machine.

    Presume you ran the Driver installation CD after you installed XP ?

    Real copy of XP ? SP2 ? , dont think it will allow pre SP2 anyhow

    What version of MBP ?

    Is it running native or in Paralells or Fusion?

    I'm running Xp on my boot camp partition, without parallels or vmware.

    It's a MBP 4,1 1.0

    Yeah it's a crack, frowned upon? SP3

    Yeah I ran the drivers install from the Leopard Dvd.
