Macbook Pro Freezing Randomly

Just when you thought it was safe... even Macs have problems.

I recently installed an Apple update for Boot Camp, then under XP the system started randomly freezing. It was incredibly frustrating.

After some searching around on the net, I found a few other people with the same problem. They mostly blamed the Apple keyboard driver for Windows. There was a mention that Input Remapper happens to disable that driver in order to do its thing.

That's when the light bulb went on.

I already have Input Remapper. But since installing that, I also did the Apple update. The update probably re-enabled the keyboard driver. So I re-installed Remapper and things seem to be much better.

Until I post otherwise, consider this a fix.
