Rankio Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have an HDX 16 laptop and your method works up until I install certain drivers. The OSX laptop will not come out of the OS loading screen after a reboot. Which forces me to reformat. It has happened with some other updates but one I do remember is the GeForce drivers. Since the laptop is stuck at a 4:3 resolution and it does not detect the display, I tried the GeForce drivers in the drivers link you posted. A 9600M is in the laptop. The system also did not reboot correctly after an OS update. I installed using a 10.6.3 retail disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmal Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hi, thanks for your guide. A couple things are needed to be corrected though : 1) May you be a bit more precise on the file to download ? You pointed to a directory where there are several directories inside and in each one, there are a lot of subfolders and files inside. Can you please be precise on the path and file to download ? 2) Can you please modify the topic to the right one : RETAIL SNOW LEOPARD 10.6.5 on HP DV6000... , since we are talking about snow leopard and not leopard ? 10.5.6 is an old leopard version ... Thanks! Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rankio Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I've since cleared up the Nvidia 9600M problem by updating to 10.6.5 and installing [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. Audio, proper display resolution and mouse input are all fixed and usable now. Since doing this the keyboard has stopped responding. Forward 3 steps, back one. I'm going to search and dig to see what can fix this but if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I'll appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
