G'day and welcome to the Forums.

There are reports of version 1.33 acting up on Tiger. Try downloading version 1.22 and let's know how you go.

Are you actually installing the downloaded software?
If Not:
Double click the file, usually a dmg file. When it opens drag the application to the Applications folder in finder.
Best.

Kind of sounds like the .dmg wont mount.

well there 2 suggestions seem not to work they wanted me to copy 2 folders to the desktop and restart that didnt work dmg's still wont mount they timeout or says resources to busy they also suggested running applejack witch i dont really know what it is but i d/l it and how i would love to run it it comes as a dmg ..... soooo i cant mount it lol

Well, unless someone comes up with something else it looks like it's backup and reinstall the system time.

You have booted from the install dvd and repaired permissions and repaired the drive? Pretty much what Applejack does not counting clearing caches and checking .plist files. Onyx will do this but I think it comes as a dmg too.
