Centurion Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I'm having trouble with spotlight crashing on me... I have OSX installed using the Marklar-tiger-release1 disc. Since install, I have removed TMACPI.kext, installed nvidia.kext for some graphics support and the modified applei386pci.kext to make Tiger recognize my video card as AGP and not PCI. Everything has been working great, with the exception of spotlight. When I first installed OSX, it seemed to work fine. Now, anytime I put a term into the search bar, it spins for about 15 seconds and then the infamous "YOU NEED TO RESTART YOUR COMPUTER" message pops up. Anyone else had this problem or know of a possible solution?
