I know of no ConflickCatcher type app for OSX. Extensions are not suppose to cause conflicts in OSX. Repairing permissions is recommended after every new software install.From: dan_A <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 28 May 2004 07:56:55 -0400 On May 28, 2004, at 12:56 AM, Will S wrote:
I do regular maintenance with DW and have Macaroni set to automatically do a daily Unix maintenance, weekly Unix maintenance, monthly Unix maintenance and do a regular Mac OS X Repair Permissions. I've also used Panther Cache Cleaner. Perhaps the problem resides in 1 GB of RAM, which was thoroughly tested a few years ago when lots of us were buying cheap memory... I know that Panther is supposed to be more demanding on the quality of RAM but I haven't had any RAM associated problems ('til now, perhaps). Safari is one of the apps that will sometimes either quit or force a Java quit when it is open with a 3rd party app. The 3rd party app also has Java quits from time to time when Safari isn't open. So it's a bit complicated. Is there an equivalent app to the old ConflictCatcher for Panther? Something that can find incompatibilities or does repairing permissions suffice, and take its place?
macfixit.com says there have been far fewer problems with this update then most ...
Also if things don't go well a second install and fixing disk permissions with the Apple disk utilities in OSX usually works. Will S
Will- you are referring to the 10.3.4 update here?
I'm referring to all OSX updates here.
Thank you so very much as always, for your time on this Will. On to Tiger!Your welcome. I'd check RAM and also our older machines seem more affected by fragmented drives at the time of Mac OSX and other app installs then newer machines. OS 10.3 default is journaling on. This auto defrags apps smaller then apox 25 mb but not the hard drive in general. So I run Nortons Speed disk from the CD in OS 9.x before doing a Mac OS update. If you just do the graph to see what the drive looks like it's amazing how fragged it is after an OS update. This and DWarrior usually fixes all my problems . Best of luck Will S

PS I do wonder if and how Tiger will run on our now rather old machines!
