Da11y Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'm having the same problem but in Leopard. I tried your instructions in Leopard and it didn't work. Are there any similar instructions I can use on my leopard so it doesn't hang. Any help would be apreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79143-1049-hung-on-login-window-app-started/#findComment-562277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
