Well i have reset the pram but it still kernel panics occasionally and doesn't sleep in tiger. Would there be any other way to install the appropriate files for instance in tiger for this machine? I'm not keen on buying the os to install again because the only place i would be able to buy it would be off ebay and then it is $50 and up. Regards ::je2::
