Hi Bill,
You might try to see whether you can fix the problem by re-installing
the 10.3.5 update, not through Apple's Software Update (which you most
likely won't be able to do anyway, if this is how you installed it the
first time), but by downloading the full 10.3.5 combined updater (88
MB) from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/
macosxcombinedupdate_10_3_5_.html
and manually launching the updater. Surprisingly enough, in this way
you can re-install 10.3.5 on top of itself. This is because, as
explained here:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20040811021537993
there seem to be 3 (3!) different version of the 10.3.5 updater,
weighting 23, 43 and 88 MB respectively (the 23MB is the one that gets
installed by Software Update if you previously had 10.3.4)... and
certain third-party (as well as users like you and I, who just can't
help tinkering with the system ;-) ) may require the installation of
the bigger version for things to go smoothly.
I had a couple of different issues after updating to 10.3.5 via
Software Update, one of which was that the screen occasionally filled
with colored rectangles for a second or so, upon waking from sleep. The
other was a problem with mail. Both were solved upon manually
re-installing 10.3.5 using the 88 MB updater.
Just a suggestion...
Ciao Luca
