Yeah, that has to be it - thanks Tim. Early 2008 iMacs were the first to have the SSE 4.1 instruction set.
Wish I had thought of this before! Have spent ages trying to figure it out. Just assumed that it was a permissions thing or corrupt file somewhere. Never thought it was a CPU limitation. This is actually good news, as I can now simply use Time Machine to migrate to the new iMac he’ll get on Monday! Because I thought it was a corrupt file I was going to start from scratch recreating his environment piece by piece. Thanks again Tim.
