You are very welcome. I would not do any kind of update over an improperly functioning system. If I could not get the system working, then I would do an erase and install. If you end up starting over, then consider moving to Tiger. You might as well have the latest and greatest. Tiger works well for most. And, generally, the somewhat frequently encountered Tiger ills can be cured/worked around. If you decide to move to Tiger, post again and ask about what you should look out for.Propeller said:Thanks guys i'll give it a shot and see if my system snaps back to its old self.
