Doh... I've installed the wrong graphics driver!!

Ok,
This is embarassing, I got a bit carried away with how easy it is to run windows on the mac mini. I stupidly tried to install a new gfx driver that matched the gfx cards model number (something I do reguarly on my PC).. it was obviously incompatible.
After install the driver I rebooted as instructed. Now the mac turns on, the light displays on both the mac and the monitor (which remains blank), it chimes, the drive spins with the disk that's still inside and then the things goes silent.
And that is that... game over.. I've reset the NVRAM, still no joy!
Help!!
I'm running an intel 2ghz model if that helps.
Thanks

Every time I see someone is stuck with Windows problems on his/her mac mini I get astonished. Why did you buy a mac mini since you decide to use it with Windows?! Anyway - it was your choice
Did you use BootCamp when installing Windows? If so pressing option key during startup would bring you a boot-up selection. You can select to run Mac OS or Windows. Then maybe you will be able to run Windows in Safe Mode.
Windows is a bad OS, believe me. I am using my mac mini for 3 months. And I shall never return to Windows or Microsoft products. Never!

Why does the ATI Graphics Driver p6624y taking forever to install

my HP advisor suggested I install an ATI Graphics driver update ... p5524y ... so I am attempting to do so. It set a restore point, checked available disk space, connected and downloaded rather quickly ... but the INSTALL/APPLY is taking forever (been running in excess of 1 hour now with 0% showing on progress bar.

How do I get firefox to display images clearly? I've got Windows 2000 Pro and Firefox 3.6.6. Internet Explorer shows images clearly, so I'm sure I have the correct graphics driver. Do I need a plugin or add-on of some sort? When I go to "updates", it

When I use Firefox the images and logos don't show up clearly/correctly. I'm using Windows 2000 Pro. and just installed Firefox 3.6.6. I'm sure I have the right graphics driver as I'm able to see the images and logos clearly in Internet Explorer. I only have the "default plugin 1.0.0.15" installed. I'm thinking that I'm missing a plugin or add-on of some sort, but I'm not sure which one(s). When I go to "updates" it says there were no updates available. When I go to "Add-ons" it gives a list of Add-ons but I'm not sure which would help my issue. Any help would be appreciated.:)

Hi
What graphic card was installed in this oldie???
I dont think that Toshiba provides any Win ME drivers for this unit and therefore you should Google in the internet for graphic driver.
Good luck

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

I recently installed the xbox 360 controller app so that I could play my rockband drums in logic and ableton live but I installed the wrong one and I was wondering if anyone knew how to uninstall it from the system preferences page and the whole program?

If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it and if anyone knows how to use the drum pads for those programs I mentioned would be great? I found a couple sites for using it with garageband but nothing as for mainly live and Im running OSX 10.6 so if anyone out there knows please let me know!!! The main reason I think I installed the wrong one is when I plug in the rockband drum kit to my usb port it dosen't show up in the xbox controller program but it lights up and I've tried all my different usb ports to see if that might be whats wrong but I still show nothing and I've also installed junXion and nothing shows up there either. So if anyone has any ideas just let me say thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

Printing problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16

Has anyone experienced any problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16 through Software Update? I am having problems printing. It denotes an error message, specifically the rastertoescpii.app isn't working?

Oops, wanted everyone to know that the driver that Software Update downloaded and installed was 2.18, not 2.16 (which was the last one that worked for me). I just got done downloading the 2.18 driver directly from the Apple support website and installing it. Guess what? My printer is now working and everything is fine. If you are having issues, I suggest this route. Guess I solved my own problem, but hope this helps someone else.

TS3824 How can we install the iMac Graphics Firmware Update if the screen is white and I can't get to the Apple menu?

How can I install the iMac Graphics Firmware Update 2.0, if the screen is white and I can't get to the Apple menu? My computer has 5 vertical purple lines against white screen at startup before the Apple logo appears and the spinning gear...then everything disappears and the screen hangs on the white screen. I have tried unplugging and removing all my peripherals and the COMMAND, OPTION, P & R set of keys and still nothing. I have tried COMMAND C to start up from cd and it only tells me to turn off the computer and turn it back on. I found information on Apple's Support pages regarding the iMac Graphics Firmware Update but I am unable to download and install if I can't get to the Apple menu. Can anyone help?

You may have hardware problem, I think a visit to your local Apple Store or AASP is in order.

HT1338 I installed the wrong java on my mac, how can I uninstall it?

I need java to be able to log onto my work website. For some reason it wasn't on my mac. I installed the wrong version by accident, then I installed the correct version, but now neither will work. How can I uninstall the wrong version? Whenever I try to put it in the trash it won't delete says error code 61! ugh

Good news is it didn't install & you have the latest Java for 10.5.8...
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1359
About Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10
Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10 delivers improved compatibility, security, and reliability by updating J2SE 5.0 to 1.5.0_30, and updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26 for 64-bit capable Intel-based Macs.
J2SE 1.4.2 is no longer being updated to fix bugs or security issues and remains disabled by default in this update.
So now we need to find where those files really are, if that was -61 then...
wrPermErr = -61, /*write permissions error*/
It sounds like they're in your pictures folder if they show up on a Screen Saver!? You cant trash thm from there.

Purchased an Iphone 5s but installed the wrong appleID that I used on an old account. How do you change the appleID

If it is on the iCloud Activation lock, then theres nothing you can do. But if your talking about the App Store, then go to the App Store, go to the featured tab, and go down to your Apple ID. Select it and press sign out. Then go back to the bottom and sign in.

Not install the video card driver

Please help solve the problem, HP Pavilion dv6 6051-er Why not install the video card driver or a video card is burned? When I install a video card driver Radeon (TMM) HD 6770 in a few seconds during the installation screen is black and so is, download the drivers from multiple sites from off site and others, please: help solve the problem.

that´s a strange problem.
Maybe the agp-slot somehow is faulty since you ran into problems with booth cards.
Have you visually check mainboard for any signs of bad capacitors, agp slot interface etc.
PS, seems like you do the driver install about the same order as me
- Win XP + all updates
- DirectX
- Inf driver
- Vga driver
- rest......
If the problems occured on a regulary basis when playing games etc, then it could be some heatingproblems or to weak psu, but that don´t seems to be the problem for you.

Installing the Intel ME Driver

When I load the MSI Control Center it displays a pop-up telling me to install the Intel ME driver for overclocking.
3 QUESTIONS:
   1. Where is the Intel ME driver?
   2. If I get it as a download from Intel, how do I know which ME to download?
   3 If the ME driver is on the MSI Drivers and Utilities Disk, then which file is it and how do I install it?
I know this is basic, but I'm just a simple man.
P.S.
OCZ has been having problems with their firmware software for the Agility 3. I got rid of mucho problems by removing the OCZ Agility 3 SSD and replacing it with a Crucial RealSSD 300.
Not as fast, but it does not give me BSODs either.

if you talk about the Intel Management Engine , they are on your driver DVD or on the MSI web site

How do I install the builtin graphics drivers for my Dell Latitude D620 in Windows 8.1?

Hi, I would like to be guided through the correct driver installation for the in-built integrated graphics driver for my "Dell Latitude D620" Laptop PC which is running Windows 8.1 Pro (32-bit). By default, Windows 8.1 includes ans installs the
"Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver" to maintain compatibility with the OS. I would like to install the original and genuine graphics driver supplied by Dell Inc. (not by Microsoft) on Win 8.1, how can I achieve this? please
help.

Yes, Dell will have better answer for this issue
Since this PC quite old, I suggest contact Dell
Based on product spec, your Laptop maybe using 256MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 110M TurboCache or
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (Up to 224MB shared5)
http://www.dell.com/us/dfb/p/latitude-d620/pd
there is no driver for Windows 8.1 32 bit
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/latitude-d620
This is Windows 8.1 system requirement, I suggest discuss with Dell
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/system-requirements

Doh... I've installed the wrong graphics driver!!
