I was on here a while ago because my Logic 6 just stopped working (It just would not boot) I got a lot of advice from some very clever people on here but in the end nothing worked.. and I did try everything! So in the End I have bought a copy of Logic 8, now my question is this.. Is it advisable for me to back up my hardrive and erase and install osx before I do? I have had my g4 power mac laptop for a few years and it's not as fast as it used to be, will this help the situation? Lastly I read that if i erase and install there is a chance my computer won't be able to read my oxford 911 external, some fault within osx tiger, is this true?

Every few years an erase & install is a good thing. I liken it to scraping the barnacles off the bottom of a boat; it just cleans out some software "gunk". Not very scientific, I know, but your machine will feel zippier after an erase & install. As for the oxford 911 chipset issues, I don't have anything to offer you in that regard; check Apple's kbase at support.apple.com -------------------- "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug."
