[X4U] Problems after re-install of OS

[Mark Des Cotes]

Hi all,

I've been having problems lately with OS 10.3.6. (Apps not allowing me 
to quit them. Computer refusing to Restart or Shutdown, Finder often 
freezing.) So this morning I did an Archive and install of the OS. 
After doing so I tried to run Software update but most of the updates 
wouldn't work. I'd get a message saying Software update couldn't 
connect to the server in order to download the updates. This wouldn't 
be for all of them, iChat updated fine, some security updates worked 
some didn't. I had 6 updates that no matter what I did  wouldn't 
connect to the server. So I switched to another user account and the 
updates ran fine. Now I'm a little worried because I re-installed my OS 
to get rid of problems and somehow seem to have picked up others. Does 
anyone have any ideas what could have caused the updates not to 
download? My internet connection was working fine at the time.

Also, this is my first time re-installing OSX, what files from 
"previous system" should I be moving over to my new system?
