kramer2k Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 So I just noticed that certain screensavers are crashing system prefs when i try to select them... Flurry, computer name, RSS, iTunes artwork, and spectrum work GREAT... The others that require slides DON'T --> Beach, cosmos, nature, paper shadows, forest... When I try and select them, system prefs crashes...attached is the log... crash.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47400-certain-screensavers-crashing-system-prefs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ramm Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Do you have QE and CI working? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47400-certain-screensavers-crashing-system-prefs/#findComment-408780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomnic Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Sure... only .slideSaver files don't work, the other 3D ones work flawlessly... this problem is also posted for real macintosh, with no solution, I think it is related to an update, I've recently updated my AMD testing system from Myzar 10.4.9 to 10.4.10 replacing kernel and important kexts. The error, as u can see, is a severe Divide by zero error... I've also noticed that such screensavers also don't start by themselves, so I don't think it's a System Prefs problem. Perhaps such a behaviour can be recreated running other similar apps, such as iPhoto... I'll try that tomorrow. Update: iPhoto works well. Also ScreensaverEngine crashes, not only System preferences, when trying to launch a .slideSaver screensaver. Could it be a Windowserver.app issue? I'll try with a new AppleSMBios.kext as soon as I can.

Snerler Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yeah i have the same issue with Uphuck 1.3. Is that what you are using? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47400-certain-screensavers-crashing-system-prefs/#findComment-408915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramer2k Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yeah i have the same issue with Uphuck 1.3. Is that what you are using? Wow, way to resurrect an old thread... This problem is a kernel problem. Just keep switching until you get the right one that works for you.

tomnic Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yeah i have the same issue with Uphuck 1.3. Is that what you are using? No I started from Myzar 10.4.9... trying a new AppleSMBios.kext right now... Update: no way... trying to find new 8.10.1 kernels... SOLVED: installed the latest 10.4.10 kernel for AMD (from PascalW 10.4.10 update), everything works!!!
