Since most of the users on this thread probably is runing Bootcamp...
As far as I know, there are no solutions to any of these... YET...

So here they are::
- Setting the power settings to "Do Nothing" when closing the lid of my laptop does not shut off monitor.
- Nvidia 8600M for some reason fails to play video when coming out of hibernation. It works perfectly fine when it soft/hard boots. And when the Nvidia Control Panel is launched it leaves artifacts all over the monitor in a spread out annoying pattern.
- Like above, coming out of hibernation also disables iSight. going to USB Video Device from My Computer shows a black screen. Interestingly enough, clicking on "Take a New Picture" does save a new picture as it should have.
Thanks in advance...
