Maxwell, have you tried booting from your Leopard install DVD?… This way you may be able to repair this situation yourself. Either hold down option at start up and boot from your DVD drive, or try holding down your C key at start up instead. Either should cause you to boot into your OSX install DVD. This may take a few minutes, and VO may not come up automagically. You may need to do a command F5 yourself. Best of luck in any case… Smiles, Cara :) On Dec 18, 2008, at 12:59 AM, Maxwell Ivey wrote: > Hello; I'm one of the unlucky few who has had trouble with the > update.
