Fan Control On Macbook Pro 15 Inch Under Windows 7
Jul 19, 2009
I have the latest macbook pro 15 inch. I have installed windows 7 build 7100 on it via bootcamp. Most things are working but the box is running very hot. At idle I see 75C on the GPU and 60C on the processor. The fans will not come on until 80C. I don't want to run my computer at 80C. I talked to Apple and they told me that there was no way to change the EFI settings. They also told me that Windows 7 had no way to manage the fan settings via Apple's EFI. Is this true?
I downloaded speedfan and it was not able to control the fans.

i`ve tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2010) with a brand new "Intel X-25-M 80Gb SSD" which i have just replaced from the older Hitachi HDD.I had no problems at all installing win 7 on the HDD so the problem came after i put the SSD in the Macbook.This is what i have done so far,
1. Created a windows partion in Bootcamp from OS X.
2. Starting the win 7 installation DVD and choose language, time etc.
3. When asked for upgrade or custom i choose custom install.
Now here`s the problem, when i`m asked where i wan`t to install windows there are no drives at all in the list, it`s completely empty and it`s also asking me for the needed drivers?I have done some research myself and have found that several others having the same problem, that the installation manager isn`t detecting any disk. There is more info in this thread from Apple support forum: Apple - Support - Discussions - 2010 13" MBP 2.4GHz. No support for 3rd ...

I am considering installing Windows 7 Professional on a Macbook Pro using Bootcamp and partitioning the hard drive. I understand that when you do that your computer is then prone to viruses. But I was wondering, if you get a virus using Windows 7 on a Mac, does it only effect the Windows Partition or does it effect the whole Hard Drive?

i've got a macbook running Windows 7, and i want to dualboot it and get osx back on there. should be easy, osx on a macbook, right? **** me.
i did a bit of homework first, and reviewed what other people have done for dualbooting, but all of the threads are ancient and address different specific issues so here are the steps i went through:
-created a second partition in Windows 7, ntfs, made it active
-rebooted with an authentic osx snow leopard disc
-osx installation startup began
-went into disk utility to format it to "journalled" and get this error: "Volume Erase failed with the error: Could not modify partition map"
it won't let you install until the disk is formatted correctly..

Currently I am running a Windows 7 machine, with a 22 Widescreen LG monitor as my main and a 19 Normal Aspect NEC as my second monitor to the right. I'm also running an nVidia GTX 570. With 285.79 drivers, all is well. However, when I try to upgrade, and I've tried to upgrade to all drivers since, anytime I start up a DX10 or DX11 game (mostly BF3) my main screen offsets approximately 3 inches to the left pushing the game off to the left about 3 inches and leaving a black bar about 3 inches on the right side. This can be fixed by screwing around with the resolution settings and eventually all is fine, but I shouldn't have to screw around with anything.
Other games such as Dragon Age 2 and Battlefield Bad Company 2 actually require me to change my resolution from 1680 x 1050 to 1440 x 900 (I run my screen in 1680 x 1050)

When I bring up a web page there is about an inch of black space on top of screen where there was none before. The only thing that I did was take out the battery and put it back in. I tried to move it up with the cursor but the cursor stops at the botton of the black space. I put the screen resolution on high but it didn't change anything.

I have my mbp for 9 months, snow leopard should find automatically every pc on the network but It never found my home desktop everytime, only some times.
but I could easily connect to it using automount maker or in finder with go -> connect to server. I haven't change anything (at least as far as i know) and now my mac can't find or connect to my Windows 7 desktop...!
my desktop see's my mac on the network and can connect to its shared folders but my mac can't see the desktop. my other laptops at home runing windows xp and ubuntu can see the desktop too, so i don't know what is wrong! workgroup is the same.
this is definitely a problem from my desktop as my mac can connect to other pcs too.

I downloaded the RC ISO and burned it to a DVD and tried to install it on my MacBook Pro, but the DVD won't boot. I hold down C during boot, they gray screen comes up and the disc spins real fast for a while, but nothing happens.
I have read that the ISO created isn't ISO compliant so you have to create an ISO that is. I followed the instructions here to do that. This didn't make a difference.
I didn't have any problems installing the Beta, but the RC won't boot.

I already have the envy, you can see my specs. I want to know if it would be worth switching to a MacBook Pro. If I did, I would want windows 7 on it for sure. Is it worth it? I love windows 7, but I also love the compatibility that Apple makes with all its stuff. Apple makes decent hardware, HP seems like their machines are cheap and not well built.

I have had a Windows workgroup for years, linking PCs and Macs as well as a Linkstation Network Drive through a Time Capsule Router/Hard Drive Combo. Immediately after upgrading from Vista Business to Windows 7 Professional on my Sony Vaio VGN-Z750D, I can see the Time Capsule and MacBook but can not access the MacBook Pro. I am able to access the Linkstation and the Time Capsule. However, the system does not ask me for a username and password when I try to access the MacBook Pro, and I get an error message that Windows cannot access the MacBook. The problem seems to be on the Windows 7 end, for I am able to access the Sony on the MacBook Pro.
The workgroup name is the same on all computers. I had to reset the workgroup name on the Sony, because for some reason the Windows 7 upgrade renamed the workgroup name to WORKGROUP without asking. I reset it to the name used on all our mchines. The only variable changed is the Windows 7 upgrade.

I am trying to set my monitor's screen give accurate renditions of my pictures. I use Quick Gamma to set gamma. When doing this I can use either Nvidia's controls or windows controls (right click desktop>Nvidia Control Panel. When using Nvidia's Control Panel, there are two choices: Use other applications control color settings or Use Nvidia settings. Am I correct in assuming that the former setting is Windows? I always check the button to use Nvidia settings (and then Apply>OK), but when I go back to this screen at a later time, the Other applications control color settings is always selected. I'd like to default to Nvidia.

When I go to Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsNotification Area Icons dialog then there are a lot of programs which are already uninstalled.
How can I cleanup/delete all these useless entries? How can I delete ONE single entry manually?
Second question: Assume I want to hide icons and notification for mutiple/all entries (here approx 40 items) in ONE STEP.
Third question: How can I save/backup the current notification settings (for later restore) into a file? Are these notifcation settings stored in a certain branch of the Registry (which exactly) ?
