You need the retail install set. IIRC it has a black background. Any other installer would list specific machine(s) it is for. You have a Pismo so you should have a DVD drive. If for what ever reason you have a CD drive instead you'll need the CD install set for Tiger. The standard install disk is DVD-ROM. While it's a good idea to have the installer disk(s) you may not need to re-install the OS. It's rather rare that you need to do that with OS X. Try creating a new user and test the machine to see if you have the same problems with that user. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
