[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 908470, member: 56231"] Your post indicates a problem with the CRT display, or the video card. Your comment about movies suggests to me that it's the video card. Try running Disk Utility > Hardware, preferably from a Tiger disk (rather than the internal HD). A feature I've noticed in my own eMac (1.25), is that the monitor is significantly affected by external temperature. For example, if I'm away from home base for weeks, when I start the eMac after such a period, the display is very dark. However, after perhaps 30 minutes, it has returned to normal. Re the PPC security update, try repairing permissions within the existing system (recommend using Onyx) and then retry the update. Another option might be to use a different download site (eg. MacUpdate or VersionTracker). [/QUOTE]
