sweebez Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hello! I have installed Lion on my Sony Vaio VGN-AR790U/B and have no problems booting it up, but once that happens, I'm in a bare-bones system due to my lack of OR incorrect kexts. I have no resolution-change options even if I try to force them on boot, and certain standard applications like chess or calculator fail to boot or kill finder which needs to then restart. I'm told this is all a kext-based issue, so what should I install/uninstall to fix this? I've attached System Info's Driver and Kext lists below. www.sweebez.com/Devices.png www.sweebez.com/Kexts.png THANK YOU in advance!!
