[QUOTE="artistpaul, post: 634355, member: 53188"] This is my first post, and I come to Mac Forums to confess, in all humility, that I was using bit torrent peer-to-peer download software, and I'm pretty sure thats were my problem came from. 'Serves him right' I hear you say, well I've learned my lesson, but now Photoshop wont launch, Safari 3 quits even more than usual and I can't download anything that doesn't use a dedicated software updater.I've run maintainence and cleaning routines and anti virus software, I've also reinstalled the OS (10.4.11) and all affected software but the problem stands firm. I think I've traced the problem,or part of it, to the firewall. When I try to access it I'm told that there is another third party firewall application running, although I've not installed one, and I must first remove it before I can work further. I'd be gretefull for some help with the solution. Has this happened to anyone else? Kind replies invited. Paul [/QUOTE]
