Ok,
I'm having some weird problems all of a sudden with my install of Panther.
Just recently, Ive been getting some weird errors that i have not encountered before, because i am the admin / only user of the computer. Just recently there was an airport extreme update in software update.. i went to install it, just so everything is up to date. after it finishes downloading and gets ready to install, i get this error here . " The update "airport extreme driver update 2005-001" could not be verified and expanded correctly, Make sure you have permissions to write to /private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate, Then try again"
I didn't think much of it, i don't have an airport extreme, (on ibook g3) so i didn't sweat it any, but then a couple days later i went to install some drivers for my printer, since i just repaired it i was going to test it out (the printer) so i go and down load the drivers, i start to install it, and then i get this error after i put the password in, "The software to be installed requires Administrator or higher level access privileges."
I then think to myself something weird is going on here, i said forget it because the printer is not that important, i don't like the hunk of junk anyway... but that aside...
I then today proceeded to reinstall Dreamweaver MX 2004, I'll start installing and then it'll ask for my password like usual, i put it in and then i get this error again "The software to be installed requires Administrator or higher level access privileges."
I don't know what to do, so i repaired permissions and tried again, it didn't do anything, so i am baffled, i don't know what is going on, i have not had any of these problems and they all of a sudden arise, i am the admin of the computer, i don't have any other users on here. no one else uses the computer but me and i use it everyday, hopefully you guys could help me out. thanks
