First off 10.3.3 runs flawlessly on my Umax J700/S900 machine. So it's hard to tell if 10.3.3 is the problem on your machine or something else. Have you ran disk permissions and fixed any errors? Also pesky hard to find RAM issues can be very hard to trouble shoot. Disk Warrior can also fix many issues that other utilities seem to miss.
I do regular maintenance with DW and have Macaroni set to automatically do a daily Unix maintenance, weekly Unix maintenance, monthly Unix maintenance and do a regular Mac OS X Repair Permissions. I've also used Panther Cache Cleaner. Perhaps the problem resides in 1 GB of RAM, which was thoroughly tested a few years ago when lots of us were buying cheap memory... I know that Panther is supposed to be more demanding on the quality of RAM but I haven't had any RAM associated problems ('til now, perhaps). Safari is one of the apps that will sometimes either quit or force a Java quit when it is open with a 3rd party app. The 3rd party app also has Java quits from time to time when Safari isn't open. So it's a bit complicated. Is there an equivalent app to the old ConflictCatcher for Panther? Something that can find incompatibilities or does repairing permissions suffice, and take its place?
macfixit.com says there have been far fewer problems with this update then most ...
Also if things don't go well a second install and fixing disk permissions with the Apple disk utilities in OSX usually works. Will S
Will- you are referring to the 10.3.4 update here?
Thank you so very much as always, for your time on this Will. On to Tiger!
