Just updated. Hopefully this will fix the random (not very often) freezes and lack of waking up from sleep when opened (little more often LOL). _________________ Core 2 duo 2.0 Mini on a 26" Sharp LC-26GD4U GO CANES!!!! |

I updated my iMac last night but nothing has shown up for the Macbook Pro
Although I've just checked and my Boot Rom is showing a completely different version than those mentioned above.
