[QUOTE="mbohn, post: 905865, member: 109496"] This all came about because my MBP got hung up after restarting after some software needed to be installed. I've had it a month now and that is the first time that has happened. This morning I had some more updates, 10 altogether, and the machine rebooted fine. My Windows experience is with XT so it makes sense that Vista has improved in that aspect and that I wouldn't know about it. My Unix experience would have never included installing system software (god forbid a user should ever do such a thing!) so I would not have known about required restarts for that either. So it sounds like Mac apps use something like the old Windows .ini files to keep track of their settings? Thanks for all the answers! [/QUOTE]
