That is one reason why some folks don't use software update and down load the package from the Apple site instead. This also gives you a copy to save incase you need to do an erase and reinstall later or buy a new drive. Sometimes the problem you describe are self inflicted, and not Apples fault. Say you install shareware that messes up your application folder or move files to places other than where Apple looks for them or even delete essential files. --- jackrodgers at earthlink.net http://www.jackrodgers.com
