Michel Gilbert Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hi, we mainly use Watchpax units for display. Production uses a Mac Pro running Bootcamp and Win 8.1 on WO 5.5.1. As a display computer during production we would like to use a MacBook Pro. We have used it with the same softwares mentioned above. However, sometimes, and quite often, WO crashes on the MacBook Pro running Bootcamp. Our program is not "heavy", single screen, still images, mainly fades and scaling. Any idea/suggestion... Thanks Michel Gilbert SUB-IMAGES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfk Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 More important than the hardware is Windows OS and driver configuration. Apple supplies the internal hardware drivers for bootcamp Apple supplied drivers for USB controllers, Disc controller, sound co-processor, on-board graphics, etc, etc are part of a correct bootcamp setup. Use hardware manager to confirm your internal hardware drivers are sourced from Apple, not Microsoft. Have you run the OS configuration checklist?

Michel Gilbert Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hi Jim, we used the OS configuration checklist when we set up. We will have a close look at the drivers source and go through the checklist again. Thanks. will keep you posted. Michel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfk Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 FYI Most commonly overlooked item is Control Panel Program & Features Turn Windows features on / off Uncheck Media CenterThat is a known cause of crashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
