mineworld Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi I used SwitchResX app to implement a custom resolution. It worked fine with recommended values but unfortunately adjusting a manual resolution made the system to go wrong and so it gave me a black screen. Now, after a restart, the booting process is being done fine but the black screen comes quickly just after progress bar completion. I'm sure everything works properly behind of the scenes. Guys, I'm sure that the login screen comes but I can't see it because of the black screen. How can I access to desktop temporarily to remove this app completely or change applied setting in order to get rid of? I used -x flag but it showed me a prohibitory sign at a very first moment. Any kind help would be appreciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/324359-how-to-get-rid-of-this-annoying-black-screen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
smolderas Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Maybe there is a fail-safe feature in SwitchResX. Therefore I'd advise you to ask the developer or refer to support of that software. There I googled it for you: SwitchResX support Note: According to the this the boot flag "-x" boots your computer into the safe mode, in which many for hacintosh needed kernel extensions (e.g. FakeSMC.kext) won't get loaded, hence your prohibitory sign. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/324359-how-to-get-rid-of-this-annoying-black-screen/#findComment-2441460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineworld Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Thanks again. The provided link saved me. Though, I installed Paragon hfs+ in order to access mac partition on my windows 10 to remove corrupted files.

smolderas Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Glad to hear that. I had very bad experience in the past with paragon hfs+. It just corrupted my drive without any reason. So...
