Completely randomly, the machine locks up. Curser may or may not move about but will not activate anything. Keyboard dead, too. Event quite spontaneous and not associated with any particular activity or application. On-line or off doesn't matter. It just stops working....poof! Only solution is hard power-off and re-start which makes everything fine again. However, beginning tonight, multiple hard power-off and restarts were required. Understand from posts here and on Apple's own site that my complaint is minor in comparison to many others. Jeez, there are so many!! This is very disappointing to me. Very un-Apple-like in my experience. In 18 months with Tiger, I had become a believer. With Leopard, I just got my bubble popped. Any idea as when they're going to fix these obvious bugs? |

And I don't really believe there are that many more problem related threads with Leopard than were being seen posted about Tiger in the months before Leopards release. A good deal of the problems we have been seeing have had to do primarily with Simple Upgrades rather than an Archive and Install or even a Clean Install. How did you install Leopard - the simple upgrade? If so, would suggest doing an Archive and Install or a clean install (of course after backing up your system). If you have any of the Unsanity products installed - suggest removing them prior to an archive and install. I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. Place your vote for our Member of the Month Last edited by bobtomay; 11-21-2007 at 10:40 PM. |

They lock up due to a bad ATI driver. This has been fixed now, check for the update if you don't have it. |

I did a simple upgrade. But I've unistalled applications enhancer softwares before doind that. If you believe you can do something, you can. If you don't think you can do it, you can't. Either way, you're right! |
