Thorsten,
My advice... go into the system folder of each mac, one by one, and drag
the extension's folder into the trash. Try to reboot. Put the missing
extensions it compains about back in. Reboot. Try each application, perf,
etc. that the user users one by one, and put the extentions they need back
in, one by one.
Tack is right. It's all about stoopid extensions...
Cheers,
sach

"When I am working on a problem I
never think about beauty. I only
think about how to solve the
problem. But when I have finished,
if the solution is not beautiful,
I know it is wrong."
