I finally upgraded my G4 DA to Tiger 4.0, then 4.3, over my old 3.9.
Everything
seems fine except that the Help menu item does not seem to work
normally. The
only way I can get any help is through the menu list, not from the
Help menu of
an app.
Also, mac OS help will not display any linked items below the top
page.
I tried reinstalling from the DVD but there was no improvement.
Repairing
permissions didn't help either. Is there anything I can do?
Also, after installation, I only have one user, rather than the user
and System
Administrator. When I try to add System
Administrator as a user, it says the name is already taken, though
it doesn't
diplay it in the user prefs page. Is this a Tiger thing, or did I
do something
wrong. How can I sign in as System Administrator as I did in all
previous
versions of X?
Yes, I know a clean installation is best, but my system is pretty
complicated,
and I like to preserve whatever I can. I hope I don't find too many
other
oddities.

Locate the files:
com.apple.help.plist
com.apple.helpviewer.plist
and delete them.
Then restart the platform, they will be rebuilt during the start-up
process.
And then on 10.4.3 they'll go bad again after about a week.
Help on X sucks.
Best,

As my grandfather always said, "Don't be the first to get something
NEW, and don't be the last to discard something OLD"
So I'll get "Tiger" as soon as all of the complaints slow down to a
trickle.
It's the same reason that I didn't get "Panther" for more than a year
after it was released. The one thing that has always impressed me about
Apple though is that when they screwed up a release they have always
furnished a fix free-of-charge.
Conversely is one of the biggest reasons that I abandoned MSDOS and the
PC platform and one of the reasons that "Bill Gates" is so rich. When
Mickymousesoft did a release and it had bugs hanging out of it
everywhere they charged another $39.95 for the release that fixed the
bugs. IIRC there was DOS 2.01, then $39.95 later there was DOS 2.01.1
and then $39.95 another and another and another. Well just go figure,
20 Million copy's time $39.95 again and again and again, WOW what a
money maker.
Smart business man that Bill Gates, don't give anything away for free,
even it it was our fault.
