PowerBook on Tiger acting up - 2007/10/08 17:09Hi all, my PowerBook has been acting up for a few weeks now. Little things not doing as they are supposed to eg: would not connect to my wireless network on start up, each time Safari starts it has lost ALL cookies, when running a slide show in preview the controls have shifted so far to the right that only the tip of the back arrow is visable on the screen but if I hook up a second monitor the controls are visable on it. There were a few other things as well. Today I did an archive and install of Tiger and that fixed most problems except for the Preview issue and Safari issue. Any thoughts ? I have checked all preference settings and they seem fine, private browsing is NOT turned on. Thanks for any help Randy

Re:PowerBook on Tiger acting up - 2007/10/09 01:34If you have a hardware test CD I would try that first, then repair permissions and run DiskWarrior if you have it.
It sounds like the archive and install kept something in there that is causing the problems. I would do a complete reformat and install after backing up your data. That may be an extreme way to fix the problem but it't the only ideas I have.
