May 10, 2011 7:41 AM in response to jjhamflby Michael Grenadier,You should always clone your startup drive so that if an update causes problems, you can quickly restore your system to it's working state.
a shot in the dark: Have you tried zapping your p-ram? hold down command-option-p-r while startup up. Hold these keys down until you hear the startup sound at least a couple of times.
Also, go to system profiler: graphics/displays and see how much vram you have.

If all else fails, try the guiness solution: powerdown the computer, UNPLUG the computer from wall. Wait 15 minutes or so (a perfect opportunity to have a beer). Restart.
