Hi Dean,
This is called a kernal panic. Usually caused by some external
device that is connected to your computer but not always. The fix
is to restart the machine. If it keeps happening, you should start
the machine with all external devices disconnected and re-connect
them one by one to see which one is the culprit....scanners are
notorious for causing this.
The next thing I would suggest is to make sure that all of your
device drivers i.e. printer, scanner, non-apple mouse/keyboard are
all up to date...you may have transfered your old drivers over and
they aren't compatible with Tiger. You can download these from the
vendors' websites.
I did download the newest Printer Driver .. it appears to work
correctly. My mouse and keyboard are Apple ... came with the new
computer. The only other external device I had was my MIDI, which I
had going through a bus, but have now connected directly to a high
speed usb port, don't know if that was a prob or not. As of now, the
computer seems to be functioning totally normally, but I haven't had
the guts to try Finale yet. I still think I had better wait until
Monday, call MM tech, and have him talk me through uninstalling Fin
and GPO, and maybe the 2004 stuff. I still wonder if it's a MacFin 06
vs Tiger issue.
Thanks again,
Dean
This sounds like you may have some directory issues as well. Do
you have a program called Disk Warrior? The current version is
3.0.3 and it is compatible with Tiger. This program will
straighten out directory issues beautifully.

There is another trick you can try. I have two admin users on all
of my machines. One I only use for trouble shooting. If I have
problems I log into the "clean" trouble shooting user and run the
program/file/or whatever that is giving me a problem to see if the
problem goes away when logged in as the other user. If it does,
you don't have a system wide problem but rather a problem within
your main user directory.
It may be that you end up having to wipe the drive and re-install
everything. But try this first...
Best,
Karen
Now, I think I had better wait until I can talk with MM before I
try and run Finale again, which, I hope against hope, will run
correctly now that the Pref Folder has items in it, and that it
won't corrupt my whole bloody computer again. Lord, what a day.
Dean
