    Hi,
    I have installed WinXP on my MacBook Pro using bootcamp. For some reason, the screen savers and display timeout don't come on with the time its set to. Is anyone else with a MBP running XP working for them ?? Thanks.

    it could have to do with windows inability to access the macbooks internal clock.

    Yeah, MBPs were having problems with their internal clocks - every time you re-boot into Windows the clock/date have to be reset. When OS 10.5 is released, this should be fixed though.
