[QUOTE="dutchy1818, post: 13150"] I upgraded to 10.2.8 and have a BIG problem. Suddenly original icons changed to generic, like installer, directory access, image capture and a few other Apple programs/utilities. when i click any, the generic icon appears in the dock, jumps a few times, then disappears and nothing happens. I used DuskUtility to do its thing, and it repaired a few flaws. But the problem didn't go away. When I try to reinstall the 10.2.8 combo, the same thing happens with the jumping/disappearing INSTALLER icon.. Actually, ALL new installations that need to make use of the INSTALLER encounter the same problem. I tried to reinstall OS X from the original cd-roms, but it freeze: the screen shows the apple logo on blue background, and in the middle of the screen a white bar with lots of "snow" (like a bad reception on a TV). I can use my Mac fine: no problems being online, using Word or any other program, only I can't install anything. Please let me know what the problem is and how to solve. Thanks, Robert [/QUOTE]
