Manually/otherwise Uninstall M-Audio (3rd party) components. 2. Restart in Single User Mode and Run applejack in *a*uto pilot mode (multistep sequence: Repairs Disk, Repairs Permissions, Clears Virtual Memory, clears caches, checks validity of preference files, etc, IIRC) 3. Shutdown, Rest, and Startup, allowing 3rd party-free system to stabilize (see Activity Monitor settle - allow Spotlight (mds) to finish, kextcache, find, etc to conclude). 4. Test system by Shutdown, Rest, and Startup. 5. Install M-Audio (3rd party) components, Restart until you can Shutdown. 6. Startup in Single User Mode and Run applejack in *a*uto pilot mode (multistep sequence) 7. Shutdown and let rest. 8. Startup resetting PRAM using opt-command-P-R Somewhere along the way I also used OnyX to Reset > Spotlight Index, since part of the issues may be related to corrupt Spotlight files. Letting Spotlight finish has become something to watch out for, before using a freshly Startup'ed system, and / or before Restarting. Trying to trust the OS X 10.5.7 system that appears to be working as of the typing of this line ... just Startup'ed very cleanly after being down for a few hours. If others have success with this idea, please comment. Thanks I may return to 10.5.6 until the techno-dust settles ... I made a CCC 3.2.1 clone of it before upgrading to 10.5.7 ... A bunch of folks on Apple Discussions, are complaining about this upgrade ...
