argonlazer Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hello. I have just waited a week for KALYWAY LEOPARD 10.5.1 to download and I can't even get to the installation screen. TBH I am a NOOB with MAC and I have been doing lots of reading but nothing seems to have been relevant to my problem. My Computer Spec: Processor : Intel Pentium D Frequency : 2666 MHz Manufacturer : Packard Bell NEC Mainboard : NEC COMPUTERS INTERNATIONAL GA-8TRC410M-NF Bios : Phoenix Technologies, LTD Chipset : ATI RS400/RC400/RC410 Physical Memory : 2048 MB DDR2-SDRAM If I leave the disk in without selecting F8 It will take a while to get to the screen which is Grey and has the Apple logo and then eventually the 'Restart your mac by pushing the power button' will appear. If I try pushing F8 and typing Vanilla. It will just restart on its own eventually. Please help me, I don't really know what else to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
