Apparently fixed by version 10.4.3. I went to the Apple web page and downloaded and installed MacOSXUpdate10.4.3.dmg. The Software Updater now seems to works; however, my log of installed updates does note show the 10.4.2 to 10.4.3. Should I edit this into the file? Dick -------------- From: "Richard M.
