My MDD G4 has two hard drives, one with Leopard (10.5.8) and one with Tiger (10.4.11). I run Leopard 99% of the time. 1. After archiving and reinstalling Leopard and all updates, the cursor now exhibits aberrant behavior. It frequently flickers on and off, especially when using Photoshop, and also displays as an 'empty' square or string of squares through which the background can be seen. I've researched this problem thoroughly, but none of the solutions I have found have worked. I agree with Kris, this is most likely a video card issue, and may well be merely coincidental to the re-install. 2. One of the solutions suggested was to reset the PRAM/NVRAM. When doing this in the typical manner (holding down the Command, Option, P, and R keys at start-up) from Leopard, the computer starts up in Tiger from the other hard drive Entirely expected if the Tiger volume is the first one on the bus. Clearing the NVRAM deletes the value holding the preferred startup volume. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
