I would agree with this advice... Trying to run such software on this hardware may mean you will have such flakey problems. However, you might try doing a fresh install of 9, then upgrade it to 9.1, and then all the way to 9.2.2 without actually using it, and then reinstalling your apps fresh. One advantage of this is that you won't have any third-party extensions installed, but another is fresh preference files. Once you can keep 9.2.2 stable in this configuration, you can slowly add your essential extensions one or two at a time, and see if one of them is causing your problems. If you can't get stable with a fresh install/upgrade, then I would toss the idea of 9.2.2, and go back to the earlier version... BTW, I hope you have been saving your original 9.1 system folder.... ;-) (It's easy to do, First, copy your System folder, into another folder, netxt, open your copy of the System folder, create a new, empty folder, and drop your Finder into it and it should work. I've done this for every upgrade I've done since back in the 7.x days. It's always worked for me.) -- -Jon Glass Krakow, Poland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in their struggle for independence." -- C.
