I might try a few exorcisms on 10.5.6 first ... like removing the LCC 2.6.0 Scroll Enhancer ... then do the Surrender & Return to a Nuke & Pave to 10.5.4. Best way is to install my DVD Leopard version (10.5 Retail), then download 10.5.4 Combo ? http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/ macosx1054comboupdate.html and resist which updates? 10.5.5, 10.5.6, Combos but not others like Quicktime, iTunes, Safari, Security and Java? I have an Oct 25 Time Machine backup ... but it has all "My Bad" enhancement apps I was playing with, including the Zydas Wireless drivers and such. Can't remember what version OS X probably 10.5.4, and a quick look didn't reveal what Time Machine had there for me. May be better to go with Nuke & Pave, if my exorcisms don't rid me of the appropriate daemons (sic) ... (Just read the 2 other e-mails ... THANKS .. My significant other of 12 years moved out a month ago ... if I become frustrated, guess I'll just have to resort to petting the dog ...) Almost afraid to say Pun Intended .... Going for a walk ...
