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?

There is really no compelling reason to stay with 10.2.8.
Get Panther (10.3 ) and reformat your harddrive and re-install everything from schratch. I know this is a timeconsuming hassle, but that way you'll get a fresh system. Dont forget to backup your important stuff first. Get the Panther combo-update before you install back any other apps. Update the system to 10.3.7. After this install back any other apps you use. Dont forget to use the the "Disktool" to repair permissions before and after any application install you do. Dont let Panther save any old prefernces or configs for your computer. Do a completely fresh install and reformat. Cheers: Dixiechicken -------------------- ==================
