[QUOTE="sunracer, post: 91230"] Thanks for all the help on this...I didn't realize how easy it is to delete an app from OSX - much nicer than XP. What I've learned - The app giving me grief is Adobe Creative Suite. It turns out that the problem seemed to be related to the added hardware in my system: I added an Apple HBA with optical SFPs to connect to a SAN and two 512MB RAM sticks from Smart. I knew the RAM had to be added in pairs, this is common in nearly all modern systems but I didn't buy RAM from Apple. I removed both the HBA and the RAM from the system and Adobe loaded perfectly and is running fine. I'll do more investigation to determine which component is causing the lock-ups but I'll bet it's the RAM. Not all RAM is created equal, there are vast differences between brands and published specs. Normally I would never have bough RAM from Simple but it was the easiest to find.... Thanks again for the help and the very useful pointers...Scott [/QUOTE]
