Upgrading to snow leopard, please help.

my computer has been doing CRAZY things lately, ha.


clicking the left mouse button often acts as a right-click

'system preferences' has gone missing


all sorts of issues.


i'm running tiger on my '06 desktop, bought a SnowLeopard disc a while ago that i havent used yet, and figured hey why not just wipe this thing clean, and start anew with 10.6?


What do i need to know about completely emptying this thing out and beginning with my 10.6 disk???

Any help is greatly appreciated, i'm pretty dependent on this comp 2-3 days a week for both work and school. Thanks guys!

dont panic

Download the combo update and see if that refreshes your system

Mac OS X 10.5.6 Combo Update

10.5.6? currently running Tiger 10.4.11 this update would apply???

No it wouldn't, it's for Leopard.

You can install Snow Leopard straight on top of Tiger. Just put the disc in and follow the instructions, but do a backup of your Mac first.
