[QUOTE="tmaclean, post: 518371, member: 29358"] I've come across a lot of different problems. From iCal and Mark's Missing Sync crashing, to iChat, Adium, and Firefox all crashing at certain times that they didn't crash before upgrading to Leopoard. I think I may just reformat my hard drive and put a clean new install on it because I've already done the Archive and Install method and no change. My only problem is that I don't think that if I simply copied over all the files in my Applications folder it would go back on just as easily. I don't have a lot of the installation disks anymore, so I was hoping that I could restore them from a backup drive. Another thought is about Time Machine. Would I be able to use it to bring all of my applications and settings back if I reformat the hard drive? Or would that bring back the same kinds of errors that I've already got? Last thought, should I just bring my laptop into the Apple store and have them decide what would be best? [/QUOTE]
