This weekend I decided that OS10.5 was old enough to try installing it on my PM 2.7 G5. Expecting that things could go wrong I kept the drive with OS10.4.11, and formatted a drive for 10.5.install Ran the installer and it consistantly failed if I tried to use the feature in the configuration assistant that copies your settings and files from a different drive.
Feeling kinda smart I reformated the drive and just installed the OS, then used the migration assistant in the utilities folder to move my files and accounts, then ran software update to get everything current. This all seemed to work, but now I can't move any of the icons on the desktop, they are frozen in place. I have used get info to check the icons and they are not locked, I have rights to the icons, I Zaped PRAM, I can left click and put the icon in the trash. I thought this might be related to the migration assistant, but the icons are are frozen in both a new account created during the install and accounts that I migrated. Tried any Apple mouse in place of my Kensington with no change I Googled this issue and what I found was problems where icons and files wrer frozen and could not be opened or deleted, both of which I can do. I'm stumped, but glad I can still startup in 10.4.11. As always any help would be appreciated.
