Lorene, you mentioned you were hesitant to install the 10.5.7 updater. If you use SuperDuper, you can use what the author calls a "Sandbox" to be able to test a new update without consequences. It's used to revert to pre-update state of your OS. Here's a description of how this option works:
A Sandbox is a bootable copy of your system, stored on another hard drive or partition, that shares your personal documents and data with the original. With SuperDuper!, you actually use the Sandbox as your startup volume. You can safely install any system updates, drivers or programs in the Sandbox, without worrying about what might happen to your system. If anything goes wrong, you can simply start up from the original system. SuperDuper! has preserved it in its original, pre-disaster state but all your new and changed personal documents are totally up to date. Within minutes, you're up and running again without having to go through a difficult and time-consuming restore process. In a nutshell, you would install the combo on the sandbox and if you had problems, you would simply boot from your main drive. The sandbox uses your users folder so there is nothing to update. SuperDuper! Is $27.95. I¹m not affiliated with the product. Just a satisfied user. <http://www.shirt-pocket.com/> Even though this is not specifically an Entourage issue, backup is important. If anyone wants to discuss how to setup a partition for using a sandbox, I'll be happy to help and the group can learn from the process. -- Diane YouTalk mailing list List address: [email protected] List information: http://entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected]
