Iman07 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 hey guys. i have a nvidia 8600gt 256mb and i was having problems get it to work with my system. i installed a driver, through an installer, forgot the name, and rebooted. after rebooting i got stuck at the spinning cursor with apple logo. so i did -v -x -s and got to safemode. when i enter my pw it looks as if its gonna log in then kicks me right out. i cant get past this. i no longer need to use safemood to boot the system but regardless of the fact that its safemode or normal boot, i still cant log in. any solutions? i had a backup copy of my com.apple.boot.plist, which i was messing with, and used terminal, booting to the installation dvd, and copying it over to my Extra folder in my SL partition and restarted and it still does the same exact thing.

buckit Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I am having the exact same problem. I got the network card working then I installed the video driver (9f23installer.pkg) restarted the computer. then it asked me to login... I type my password, it says "logging in" screen goes all blue for about 4 seconds with cursor on the screen then goes right back to the login screen. it accepts the password but it doesnt ever finish logging in. very odd.

Iman07 Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 what version of OSX did you install? I did snow leopard. got the same issue with 2 different driver packages i was on 10.6.1. i also used 2 different drivers on two separate occasions. one was with nvinject, and i forget the other. i cant seem to find the right drivers or combination of drivers. i hate this card. i initially bought it because it was working fantastically with 10.5.x but now its just giving me a freaking headache. im tried several drivers, but only two of them caused this crash.
