	Dec 29 2009	AKASEK Running InsomniaX with "Load on AC" option on Snow Leopard (10.6) 15" Macbook Pro. Exactly what I wanted - closing the lid while plugged in keeps the system on and if not plugged in, it will suspend. (Version 1.3.5)		0

	Dec 16 2009	CHRISTOA I see a lot of complaints that this isn't working, or this caused weird issues, etc etc; some reviews are negatively directed at the developer. 1) The software is free 2) The software is complicated; it modifies the system's kexts 3) I'm seeing most complaints for 10.6 and some for 10.5. Which means you if you're doing something that has potential for screwing things up (see #2), you should be using Time Machine. Or praying to your local deity (not OS dependent). I too am having problems with the Application on my computer, but I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the developer for his hard work. (Version 1.3.5)		+1

	Dec 16 2009	DAMIAN001 It's been 3 months since that comment. I fixed it 3 minutes after. Don't bump anything in the future. Besides, a new version of InsomniaX came out a while ago. Look around next time. (Version 1.3.5)		0

CHRISTOA I apologize if you had made a follow-up comment; it wasn't in the same thread, it's not a new posting, and I cannot seem to figure out how to "expand all" replies when viewing all comments (Please fell free to tell me "You're doing it wrong" if I missed it).

I just have a thing about people expecting others to baby them through stuff, especially with complicated Apps like those that modify kexts, and your's just happened to be the one that got me to right a response.

Hopefully you understand the feeling, and I apologize for coming at you so abbrasively.

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.

	Sep 21 2009	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.

	Sep 10 2009	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 (Version 1.3.4)		0

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.
