Arthur Pwnzerelli Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi I just installed leopard iAtkos release 1.5.7 which i think is the newest. The installation went fine but when i restart it goes to that grey apple startup screen and does nothing both keybaord and mouse don't work at this point. I tried going to utilities and installing chameleon and the only difference is now theres this cartoon lizard loading screen where it gives me the option to choose which disk i want to boot then it goes to a somewhat different apple startup screen where it freezes again. I have a pentium 4 2.5ghz with 1gig of ram and my motherboard is an msi 845E max (or MS-6566E as it says in dxdiag). Can anyone please help me out I want this to work so badly.

Shouldn't that only affect the monitor. Also a big problem is i've looked at the customize options and I really dont know what i need its all so complicated.

Arthur Pwnzerelli Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 If I install all the drivers in customization mode will that create a problem or can i do that. Cuz im not really sure what i need.
