Im running Os x 10.2.8 and i'm having trouble with the installer program. it doesnt work. It appears I have two installer programs an old one which works and a new one which doesnt but is set as the default. Some progs let me choose the older one but others dont. How can I fix the newer installer or set the older on as the default?

You're doing it again. Which pull-down menu?
Perhaps if you told us exactly what you wish to accomplish, you might have more people than me trying to help you. And being snide in a reply isn't really a great way to encourage people to try and help you. OK, I'm going to take it that you're referring to the Apple Installer utility on your hard drive. First off, I have to say i have no idea why you're trying to install stuff this way. Secondly, a properly applied System Update should have overwritten the older version of the Installer. That said, if you need to reinstall individual applications, files, or utilities from your original installer disks and you don't want to have to reinstall the whole OS, you should check out a shareware app called Pacifist: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo...fo/macosx/12743 Another one that looks interesting: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/syst...agemanager.html If this doesn't help, if you tell us what you want to do, someone may be able to suggest an alternative way of doing it. If it isn't what you want to do, then please explain... This post has been edited by Dave Bourke: Thu 20 Jan 2005, 00:24 -------------------- Dave Bourke
