[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1171939, member: 46727"] The "combo" update is not going to replace missing system files. You need to do an "Archive and reinstall" with your Snow Leopard DVD. All your data will be preserved. Two things to keep in mind: 1. Mac OS X is not like Windows. You do not need to, nor should ever delete files to save space - especially from the all important Library folders. You can of course delete things like photos, music, documents (if no longer needed) but leave everything else alone. 2. Make backups! Time Machine came preinstalled on your machine. Buy an external hard drive and use it for TM. [/QUOTE]
