Chetzar Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 you're plenty welcome, since you gave so much time and had such great patience and all before giving up...

Willaay Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 You are very impatient. You are going nowhere. With that impatience, I'm glad you didn't get help.

xeongx Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I think the best way to search for graphic card drivers is by using the Device ID. Like mine was 0x4e501002, I just search that in google and type insanelymac.com beside it, it finds the driver. :] Just my two cents..

Hagar Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Cross-posting & bumping is no substitute for actually doing the necessary research. Please search & read before posting, you will probably find that you don't need to post at all, and if you do, you will know how to ask a sensible question & supply the information needed to answer.

Tony Conte Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Okay, I'm sorry for my behaviour and I've searched and asked some people that would know things like that but no one answered back to me, and nothing found from my searches. I googled.. got in every page that could have the solution but none helped Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101790-bought-a-new-laoptop-everything-works-great-but/#findComment-785679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XweAponX Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 You kinda gotta do your own homework here, if you just kick back, and read the forums starting from the first posts, you WILL eventually see an issue that mirror-images yours. I don't think I have gotten a single response to any of my posts, but that does not stop me from using Google and the PHP search on this site, which will not respond to phrases, only keywords. "um i kinda dunno how to look at my device since it's not working.. lol i'm a really noob guess so." Well, I'll TELL Ta how. 1) Install Windows XP 2) Install ALL of your device drivers IN WINDOWS XP First, you RIGHT CLICK on My Computer Then you LEFt CLICK on MANAGE Then you choose DEVICE MANAGER Then, you look for your Nvidia Lan, did u say it was a Lan device? Locate your Nvidia Netforce Networking Controller in the list of devices: It will be listed under NETWORK ADAPTERS. Right Click on "Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller" See the four PROPERTY SHEETS across the top? That is what them's called. CHOOSE THE "DETAILS" Property Sheet: --And you take your device ID, type it into GOOGLE along with the word InsanelyMac... And you will be directed to several posts relating to your hardware. Go Ye Therefore, and read them posts. 3) If you still can't figure out your DEVICE ID, they type Lavalsoft Everest 4.5 Trial into GOOGLE HERE, I'll DO IT FOR YOU http://www.google.com/search?q=lavalsoft+e...amp;startPage=1 And use THAT Program to get the Device ID. Now... Is THAT what you want? You want someone to sit down and use 30 of their precios life minutes answering every jot and tittle of your dumbly worded question? Instead of sitting down yourself and doing YOUR OWN research. Oh, this could be like any Windows XP or Vista forum, where people like me will post step by step tutorials for you... But what do you want, so you want the DEVELOPERS on this site to work on Improving the devices we DO have, or do you want them to stop what they are doing to respond to a question that you could have EASILY googled the answer for. Also, *I* have the same Nvidia network adapter you got... and There is Probably NOT an OSx86 10.4.11 driver for it. Try installing Leo4All, the Leopard that is floating around. Also, before you even start doing this... Have at least 4 or 5 different Hackintosh releases ready to try, cos if one release does nto work, another will: For example, I got 10.4.6 by JaS to boot into Mac, but I could not get Uphuck 10.4.9 to work at all. Right now I am using XxX 10.4.11 rev2 So, write this {censored} down or save the page to your desktop for future reference on how to deal with people in here.
