hello, yes i've access to the Apple menu and configurations's parameters. But I don't have the cd to eventually reinstall Leopard. Perhaps that the Mac has some little configuration problems : I wanted to share some folders and I did it correctly and save the configuration. But it didn't work. When i return to the preferences it's not done..It's also a second hand power mac apparently that they had received for free 3 years ago. It was nether checked... because it work good for a well-sighted person.
I'll see what to do... I'm happy about your infos and to know that I could use it... My boss was a bit disappointed to need to buy a new one; it was not allowed in this year's budget. ...
