I'm not aware of any advantages of 10.4.8 over 10.4.11, and I can think of a lot of disadvantages, such as tons of software that requires 10.4.11 minimally. I'm guessing this means you've also not installed any Apple Security Updates since Sept. 2006? If not, hit the Software Update button and write us back after it completes. > And to clarify, I'm only using one display on this machine.

There was a lot of extraneous info in the first posting that would lead most readers to believe this was a 2nd monitor. There was nothing in any prior postings about this strange configuration, I assume some sort of KVM switch?

Whenever you play "musical HDs" you need to trash the System>Library>Extensions.kextcache and System>Library>Extensions.mkext files. Alternately, you could also use a utility such as Onyx to clean all the caches out, making sure to check to check the box for "System" caches (normally NOT cleaned), but when you change machines, the System caches NEED to be rebuilt from scratch, hence, trashing the two files or using Onyx, etc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
