Mary, Since I knew that OS X was messed up on my computer, I booted from the Jaguar disk when I went to install it. I chose the option to Archive and Install which installs a new OS X along with Jaguar. All went extremly well. My computer is not only back to normal, but it's running better than ever! Jaguar rocks! It's fast and beautiful. And I don't even miss the happy mac on start up.
