SpamBadg3r Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 It has been runnign fine lately , but yeterday i just booted it and ran ichat for a few minutes, then closed it. When i went to boot it up the next morning, it went throught the grey apple, kindof slowly, but when it got to the blue screen with the laoder, it locks up, mouse moves, but the bar doesnt even start. The only thing i have done recently is installed a chat app. I have TRIED -x and platform=x86pc etc I need to reinstall it anyway, becuase my printer died with it and for some reason admin permissions are really messed up. BUT i would really like to get this resolved, i have stuff on there that i would like back. THANKS ALOT OH BTW, its a P4 2.4 ghz SiS 648 FX-a M-audio Sonica Theatre 512 MB PC3200 Nvidia FX5200 ethernet yadda yadda blah blah blah It has its own disk, no dual booting, the only dual booting i use is a big toggle switch on the front of my case that switches power from the windows disk to the mac disk =D TEH GETTOH!!!

The only thing i have done recently is installed a chat app. Ok, I saw something simular on my train ride home today. I found a solution to my problem (and hopefully yours), and it turned out that my solution also gave a HUGE increase in the running speed of OS X. I have posted it in the speed enhancement forums as well. But anyway, enough of the BS... heres what I found: If I manually set a resolution by settings "Graphics Mode"="1024x789", even though it was already setting to 1024x786, this stopped my crashing that sounds like yours (and a strange bug with the clock appearing to run at double speed, while taking twice as long to do anything), and made the system run faster. Symptoms sound simular to yours, so its worth a try. Could be completly unrelated though. Good Luck!

OS X is very "permission picky" and as such, even after you install you should repair permissions. Anytime you install a new application, or install a system update, you repair permissions. Anytime you sneeze, you repair permissions. Get it? Got it? good!

SpamBadg3r Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 About the premissions, i have tried that, but now i dont think i CAN try that as a fix seeing as how i cant even get into finder it wont boot, it gets past the grey apple, to the blue screen , and once the progress bar comes up, no blue ever fills it.

Zeph Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 What if you put in the os x dvd and then use diskutitlity to repar permisions but don't do it until some one says its ok because people say that disktutility will delte your disk so correct me if I'm wrong Who are these "people" it will only "delete" your disk if you press delete, lol. Start Diskutility, select the OSx86 Partition and click Repair Permissions and reboot once thats done.
