Can you give us some details on your machine? Model information, processor, etc would help tremendously.

Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!

You haven't told us any specifications of your computer...but the first & most important thing to know is that Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6) requires a Macintosh computer with an Intel processor.

If your Mac does not have an Intel processor...Snow Leopard cannot be installed. If your Mac does have an Intel Processor, and Snow Leopard won't install..then we need to look into things further.
