Totally fed up with this. Now since the last patch (10.5.1) I can no longer even open up Systems Preferences or my Airport controls and applications are just messing up all over the place. All because I chose to upgrade to Leopard.
Anyways. I'm going to do a full reinstall of Leopard but I need some advice before I go ahead, scared of losing things or bringing back the same old problems.
I have time machine set up backing up my Macbook. So should I do an archive and install or an erase and install and then restore everything from Time Machine?
In my mind I want to just put all my sensitive files onto my other drive and manually re-add them to Mac OS X because I don't really trust it to restore my files without restoring the same problems that I'm having now. Is there any validity to me thinking this way or is it unjustified?
To manually backup all my files shouldn't be too taxing, it's just the bother of downloading all the applications that I use again and getting the keys and all that sorted out, very boring and time consuming :l
Advice?
