Daganl Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Hi, does anyone here know what might be going wrong? i have bootcamp working and everything on my macbook pro, today i tried to install creative suite 2 with a few more apps running at the same time (tryin to test out the stability) it was good, but when i got to disc 2 with creative suite 2... the whole entire system froze.. i could move my mouse.. but EVERYTHING else was standstill.. i could not turn it off, i couldnt not type anything.. nothing.. its like a completely still screen except for the fact that i can move the mouse around.. i cant even click or right click.. so the only way i could go on here and ask for help was to shut it down the old way, by holding on to the power button.. i booted into windows with no problems.. then i tried rebooting back into mac.. and everything was working, except the windows partition doesnt show up!.. i say well.. maybe i can mount it again some how.. about 1 minute later the windows partition shows up! but the SAME EXACT freeze happens.. i can do anythin but move my mouse.. then i popped in the mac install disc and rebooted and went into disk utility.. and tried to repair it.. it said yeah there was a a problem.. and it repaired it.. thats what it said.. then after its all finished i booted into mac to see if its back to normal.. it does it again! i doesnt show the windows partition.. untill 2 minutes later and when it does show the whole system freezes except for the mouse.. can anyone help!? i cant risk to lose the files i have in my mac partition (this is very ironic.. cuz windows is suppose to be the one screwing up.. not mac.. lol especially on a mac product lol) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19010-massive-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jensonb Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 You were installing something with other apps running in XP? That's the ultimate XP sin! Seriously though, it's a bad idea to do that. If you fix the problem, don't do that again. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19010-massive-problem/#findComment-124486 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwprod12 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Is that the ultimate Mac OS X sin too? or are sins only reserved for bad bad windows? ;-p The ultimate sin in windows is not to run a firewall/antivirus Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19010-massive-problem/#findComment-124529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daganl Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 I FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM! its because of ADOBE!.. and i found it can be caused by 2 things.. the may 15 update.. as well as by installing adobe photoshop these 2 things both install a thing called versioncue.. and it does not work with intel macs.. so it completely screws up the whole os.. u have to boot into safe mode and delete from the /library/startupitems/ folder.. and vwa la... its gone Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19010-massive-problem/#findComment-125111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have hit ad odd sequence of events to set that off. Still... Version Cue sucks. Bridge is nice though... =) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19010-massive-problem/#findComment-125192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
