So ... when someone does a Combo update like 10.5.7, and the resulting system acts as I described above in my hijacking of this thread, what gives? (bluescreen freeze, and kps when trying to access the Dock early in a Startup (mds seems to be running, too). Is it having the ATI Radeon 9800Pro installed when doing the Combo update, it not being an original Apple video card like the Geforce4MX?. I'm currently running applejack in auto pilot mode, prior to re- installing the M-Audio drivers, thinking that may straighten things out first. Doing a few Startups and Restarts as tests. Have also used OnyX to Reset > Spotlight Index. Another time, I did rid of something, I think called, BootCacheHelper.plist (thats not the name, but the idea). It was suppose to aid in Startups with a known schedule of items to connect to / load (layman terms), to help speed up the process. It doesn't seem to be back, as far as I can tell. Did I do something bad?
