ADAMLOGAN  I am having this issue as well. I have an early mac book pro model running with leopard 10.5, kernel panics happen when insomniax is launched. Sometimes I can launch the program without having a kernel panic, but then the features of the program do not work.

C3LSIUS  My Powerbook G4 started sleeping yesterday (possibly due to overheating problem) even though I was working on my computer and keeps on doing so after I wake it up. Today, it finally slept all the way through and I had to take out the battery to shut down and reboot.

I want to try downloading Insomniax for my OS 10.4.11. Does anyone know where I can download the previous version? I can't seem to find it online. I really really need it to try and see if it cures my laptop's sleeping problems. Thanks.

MCLOE  @ c3lsius: I had the same problems with my Powerbook; turned out to be a malfunctioning heat sensor. Check out this page: http://knit1spin1.wordpress.com/2007/11/14/narcoleptic-powerbook-cured/

It's really quite simple. My PB now works flawlessly again.

G35HOLDEM  I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and installed the new version of Insomniax. It seems to be working fine but the onld version used to give me an icon on the top status bar of my MacBook to let me know it was open and I was also able to adjust some settings from there. This new version does not give any indication that it is running or a way to turn it off. Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks

STIKE  I deleted the old version before installing this new one. Works without problems.

Try to remove/uninstall InsomniaX and re-install... this may be helpful.

EUROART  This version works in Snow Leopard but only if you are running 32-bit kernel.

TENGETA  I literally waited on installing Snow Leopard until a new version of InsomniaX was released, I can officially say I updated today and the new InsomniaX is working!

THANK YOU!!!!!! I still and won't ever understand what Apple's intention is on not letting people do this naturally with their OS. Thanks to people like these, it doesn't entirely matter.

SEMAJA2.NET  This update to Snow Leopard comes with no promises of working operations, a recode is in progress from a 3rd party but it is on going.

Support from semaja2.net and future updates are unlikely but we do respond to some and will update in cases like this.

I would also like to remind everyone InsomniaX is passive and hence will not cause permanent damage a simple reboot of the system will remove all traces of Insomnia, until loaded again.

Please check the website for information on how to repair/uninstall InsomniaX

ANDREWHAJI  The "legacy" version listed on the official website works with Snow Leopard. It's a bit quirky but it gets the job done.

DAMIAN001  Andre, thanks for NOT TELLING US that the Legacy version prevents unloading of InsomniaX. Now my MBP won't go back to sleep.

I knew I should've waited for an official update...
