Oops, I celebrated prematurely. I now realise I need iMovie installed as well. Trouble is, it seems that iMovie is not a separate application to re-install (as is iDVD, GarageBand), but forms part of MacOSX as it came with my PowerBook. To obtain iMovie again, do I have a choice other than to do a whole system reinstallation? :-(
