I have encountered a problem I haven't been able to find mentioned anywhere on the web.

I have a Macbook Pro 3,1
15" LED backlit version
Geforce 8600M gfx card 256MB ram
2.4GHz intel
2GB ram

The problem I'm having is when installing xp (only for certain games and autocad) the screen is black.

the apple support website mentions this for late 2006 24" iMac's and offers a fix, but there is nothing for macbook Pro's

should it be safe to use the iMac MXM update on my MBP, or does anyone have any other suggestions?
