atari800 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 boot into safe move (-s) cd /System/Library/Extensions ls -ltr This should list files in descending date order (newest at bottom) See if you can locate a file begining with NVDA[something].kext *might not have todays date on it ..and rename it mv NVDAdriver.kext NVDAdriver.kext.old *never erase it - if this doesnt work, boot into safe mode and restore it and try another NVDA file Good luck - my instructions are NOT to be taken as 100% gospel and I have no obligation to rebuild your machine if it is broken. I just am giving a guess at what to try Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/226960-i-cant-login-to-snow-leopard/#findComment-1521278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xCalvin Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 its says they are from 2009 and 08 is this right? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/226960-i-cant-login-to-snow-leopard/#findComment-1521319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari800 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 the might be. They might be build timestamps? If you rename and dont delete kexts that begin with NVDA one at a time - you should be ok If you still get blue screen, boot back into safe mode and rename back to original kext name and try next kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/226960-i-cant-login-to-snow-leopard/#findComment-1521390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
