I remember I had a similar problem with 10.4.1, where Software Update was greyed out in the Apple Menu, but I could activate it from the System Preferences.

Profiler & Preview
In an earlier letter I stated that I couldn't open System Profiler. Well, I found I can open it by going to the Apple menu>More Information. However, I still can't open it directly with a double- click. It's unlocked and I have access. Strange. In the same letter I said that Preview would not open .pict (or .pic) files. Well, Preview will open old files of this type, ie created when I was using 10.4.1 and earlier, but it will not open files created by Snapz Pro X while running 10.4.3. Preview will open recent pictures taken with Apple's Command/Shift/3 etc, but not the Snapz files. As I said, I never had this problem before 10.4.3. Puzzling. Vlad
Profiler & Preview
Two anomalies I've noticed since upgrading to 10.4.3. 1. I cannot open System Profiler. Most menu items remain greyed out. No error message. 2. Preview cannot open .pict files created by Snapz Pro X. Never had this difficulty before. (Yes, I notified Apple.) Graphic Converter opens the files without any trouble, although Preview is the nominated programme to do that job. Error message: Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize Perhaps I've missed something somewhere. Anyone got a clue about these things?
