Tiger 10.4.1 with Office 2004 latest updates Some tips to keep your Tiger running smoothly, and Panther as well.
1. Number one tip: keep your system and Office 2004 updated to the latest and greatest. 2. Run Disk Utility > Repair Disk Permissions on your system drive (if you have more than one drive or partition) at least once a month but definitely after installing updates or software. Do this within Tiger and not from the Tiger Install disk. 3. Once a month or so, boot up on the Tiger Install Disc and run Disk Utility > Repair Disk on your system disk (you can't do this when booted up in Tiger on your computer). Remember, don't run the Repair Disk Permissions on your system disk from the install disc. 4. When you empty your trash, try using "Secure Empty Trash" under "Empty Trash" under Finder on the toolbar. The more files you have in the Trash, the longer it will take. This feature performs 5. Keep files out of your root directory. All applications should be in the Applications folder or the Utilities folder within the Applications folder. All documents should be kept within your home directory either on your Desktop or within the Documents folder. Good housecleaning is a must with Panther and Tiger.

Solution for me is cleaning up my desktop (sometimes loaded with files >4GB).
