Bender6681 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I am new to mac and have just installed os 10.5.6. Issue number one is that when trying to view videos from a web page or quicktime they playback with some lag. It is mostly noticeable in full screen. This is only with videos. Screen savers animations and cover-flow are flawless. I have found some topics about issues like this but none with a fix. Second issue is that sometimes when doing things my system will stop responding. The mouse moves but i can click anything or use any shortcut keys. This does not happen much but would be cool if i could fix it. does anyone have any ideas on how to solve any of these issues? sorry for the long post.

Beerkex'd Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 If you post your specs you have a better chance of getting help. All I can say without more information from you is try plugging your monitor into the other output on the video card and reboot. Open System Profiler, click graphics/displays and check if Core Image and Quartz Extreme are enabled.

Beerkex'd Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 They are not options, just a list of capabilities. If you don't have CI/QE, then that's the cause of your problem. You need to get your video card properly installed using either EFI device properties string in com.apple.Boot.plist or an injector.

Beerkex'd Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 No, that doesn't mean anything. It looks like you've got full hardware acceleration so that's not your problem. Try typing X1600 in the search box and see what you can find. I don't know what else to try, I don't know anything about ATI cards and OSX.

Bender6681 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 I fixed it. I'm not sure what the cause but I removed all of my ati files in the extensions folder and added the back from the install cd using pacifist and OSx86Tools. Now if i can figure out was causes my lockups everything will be good.
