Maybe I'm missing something? I've been running Panther .3.9. I installed Tiger from DVD, then updated via the 10.4.10 download from Apple. What part of that is unusual? If you are suggesting the first thing I should do is start from scratch - format, install clean and re-install all my software and configurations..... geez, no thanks. I was hoping for a bit less drastic (and maybe less than 12 hrs of work re-installing and configuring all the apps). I mean, sure, - that last resort is ALWAYS available- and if all you are using the machine for is fun and games- no big. I'll stand by and see if there might be any less drastic countermeasures suggested. ~Jay On Oct 3, 2007, at 12:57 PM, Paul Moortgat wrote: > Re-install the latest upgrade OVER the existing one.
