Hi Walter,

Remove any software that is not OSX 10.5.2 compatible.

Have you tried checking your system.log?
You might give that a try and see if you can discover what exact programs are doing what wrong that is causing the failure.

You can get to the system.log file by opening the Console.app utility found in the Utilities folder. Click the “Show Log List” icon in the icon bar, and that should show you a list of your log files, with system.log and others. Search in there or browse to see what you find.

I have to log off now, but will check again tomorrow.

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni,

Thanks

Hi Walter,

Are you using a wireless mouse?

The problem manifests itself when the wireless mouse battery is running low. When this happens, the Mouse Driver causes a dialogue box to appear on the screen letting you know that your mouse is critically low. It has a way of dismissing the alert or postponing it until later.

The problem is that neither of these function properly.

Replace the batteries in the mouse and see if the dialogue boxes stop & the error 10810

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi group,

could someone let me know how to deal with the following strange iMac behavior.

I have an intel iMac running 10.5.2

It does the following all at the same time:

1. Failing to launch applications. Comes up with the message:
The application Skype.app / mail.app / safari.app / mail.app. / EyeTV cannot be launched error 10810

2. Failing to  launch system preferences.

3. No longer showing the volume level bar graph on the screen.

When I restart is is mainly back to normal until it plays up again.

Have recently installed Temperature Monitor - but trashed it after this happened.
Have also run DiskWarrior 4.1 but that has not changed anything.

I'm confused

Thanks

Walter
