it's probably related to the kisMac install - i would suggest an 
Archive & Install of OS X. there's probably nothing wrong, 
hardware-wise.

Create a new user account and log in into that account. See if the problems
persist. Try to run Disk Utility and repair permissions on your boot drive.

fat electrons n.: Old-time hacker David Cargill's theory on the causation of
computer glitches. Your typical electric utility draws its line current out
of the big generators with a pair of coil taps located near the top of the
dynamo. When the normal tap brushes get dirty, they take them off line to
clean them up, and use special auxiliary taps on the bottom of the coil.
Now, this is a problem, because when they do that they get not ordinary or
`thin' electrons, but the fat'n'sloppy electrons that are heavier and so
settle to the bottom of the generator. These flow down ordinary wires just
fine, but when they have to turn a sharp corner (as in an integrated-circuit
via), they're apt to get stuck. This is what causes computer glitches.

System Preferences failing?? PLEASE HELP

2003-06-04 Thread Sk8rdi16 

I am haveing some problems with my system preferences.  When I go to the network 
prefs, it takes a while then an entirely different screen pops up, the only adapter 
available is a PCI and built in ethernet.  My Energy Saver prefs also are messed up, 
it says my battery is 0 percent charged all the time no matter if I am running off the 
battery.  I also can not get anything such as modem, battery indicator to show up in 
the menu bar.  This all happend after installing kisMAC, I then put it to sleep, 
closed the lid, and put it in my case, but it was not sleeping!!  when I came back the 
battery was dead and the 'book was very very hot.  Could the heat have done something? 
I also can not click and drag anything anywhere, desktop, finder...nothing!

 Here is the console log if it will help.   

Thanks for any help.   Sorry for being so long!!!
