mac.nub Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hey All, I'm having trouble getting the battery meter displayed on my laptop, I installed a widget, and it gave me a clue to why this may be. It said "This can not function on non laptop-platforms"... so basically, it thinks it's a PC. Is there any boot options etc. I can change to try and fix this? Many Thanks.

mac.nub Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 hmm no idea then... thats what fixed my laptop Perhaps it's just not compatible with 10.4.8, either that or maybe I need some of the older kexts... After all, installing the official Apple 10.4.8 patch overwrites alot of kexts.
