    I just install Win XP Pro on my Tecra M3! Now fan runs constantly! I checked Windows Task Manager for CPU / Processor Usage! CPU Usage is 0-1% with no Processes running!

    What can I do to stop the fan! It's not getting very hot, but warm.

    The constant Fan running began in the Boot/Load of Win XP Pro!

    Any ideas.

    Thanks,

    Sircas

    Try Speed Fan. This gives you control of how fast you want to run your notebook fan.
