So you applied the Jaguar update over a Mac OS 10.1 system? Most weird  
problems seem to happen on upgraded systems as opposed to those with a  
"clean install" (back up your stuff to another disk, wipe out your hard  
disk by re-formatting, and then install Jaguar on the blank hard drive).

Before taking that drastic measure, try zapping your PRAM and resetting  
the Power Manager.
