musiqkid Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Is it possible to downgrade tiger 10.4.4 to 10.4.1 without downloading the whole iso, the file i can't find anywhere using an update installer and repairing permission. i need my graphics card to work and thats the only way. Any help. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75624-downgrade-tiger-1044-1041-using-installer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Yo man that is some seriously old OS X! I don't think it can be done. What graphics card is it? I really REALLY recommend going with 10.4.8 or newer, it's just so much better.

Danyel Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Hi Musiq: I had the same problem with my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1150). I could not adjust the Graphics Memory in BIOS, so I'm stuck at 10.4.1. Now, I'm running 10.4.6 on my other machines (I know it's old but it works fine on my hardware: Dell Inspiron 1300, Dell Optiplex GX-260, MSI mPC 915). --danyel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75624-downgrade-tiger-1044-1041-using-installer/#findComment-534189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I'm guessing this is one of the intel 845/855/865 situations.. personally, if I absoultely *had* to run os x, I'd look at setting the video memory to max in bios (usually labelled 8mb or something silly) and run 10.4.8 in VESA mode. Essentially, 10.4.1, though great for its day, is incompatible with pretty much all current software, and although you *may* get qe/ci with the AppleIntel830 kexts etc, I question what you're going to use that capability for, when very few apps will run.

I don't have a video section in my bios, i don't know if its really old but i don't have one and while i was searching the fourms someone said that you could only get 1200*800 if you revert back to 10.4.1. I don't know if there's any solutions yet because i've tried alot of them. If any got any ideas i'll love to know Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75624-downgrade-tiger-1044-1041-using-installer/#findComment-534463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
