I don't know what the problem could be, but I have a question about this???
Why would you upgrade to Leopard if Tiger was running so great??? I can't find
anything that makes Leopard any better then Tiger??? So many Mac users have
told me to keep my G4 Titanium Powerbook running Tiger, don't waist the money
on Leopard... CoolKat
