sjh2007 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I had OS X working on my computer for a while an recently after uninstalling some Callisto ATI Drivers, I can boot to OS X. I get to the login screen, login with my name and password then enter. Then I see my picked background and my mouse, and a little bit of my user icon (from the login window) appears. The mouse then moves in a weird delayed motion going slow, and the OS X Bar doesn't load and none of the icons do. OS X stops loading at this point, I can move the mouse but the icons and stuff never load. Any possible solutions or did I need to re-install OS X? I don't believe this is related to the ATI Drivers.

giraid Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 did you happen to install the new security update without using Pacifist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odrex Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Sounds like Finder[.app] is not launching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjh2007 Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 I think I did install the security update without pacifist. Any resolution or would it be easier to just re-install, then install the update correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjh2007 Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 never mind. I fixed it by replacing the finder file. I found a back-up on the cd, replaced the file and now all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockthemike Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 how did you do this? i ran teh security update too without pacifist... how do i fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjh2007 Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 In the cd ( I have a 10.4.5 ). I found the file finder. It wasn't the finder.app package. But I went into that package into a folder in it that had a file called finder and replaced it with the finder I found. I did all this under Windows XP. Using a program called Mac Drive, to edit my Mac Partition in Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
