Re: Fran...Help for "weird things happening to your computer" (don't read this Andrew)


 
----- Hi Claude,
 
You mentioned Norton detected a problem. Norton detected a "problem" on my system. Attempts to repair caused all sorts of other difficulties.  I was told by my computer boffin that my Norton had collected so many updates via downloads that it didn't know what it was doing anymore. We trashed that Norton version. Bought the newest one (cause we do like Norton) and the problem just disappeared.
I wonder if this akin to your to advice re older software.
BTW Thanks for taking the time to respond to Fran's query.

... when Norton detected a problem and I attempted to fix it. The result was that the OS 9 would not boot forcing me to reformat the drive.  I just installed OS 10.3 rather than do an install from the original CDs. OS 10.3 is stable and you should have no problem with the look and feel of the new OS.  There is a problem in that some older software do not have versions that will work in OS 10.3 and this may force you to develop workarounds.
