[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1009363, member: 56231"] Seems to me there's a major Permissions issue. Do you really mean OS 10.4.[B]1[/B]? If you mean 10.4.11, or even if it is the first version of Tiger, and you have the original OS disks, why don't you use Archive & Install. Now that will not preserve a number of the OS settings, so in your situation I would do screenshots (Cmd-Shift-4) of everything you wish to retain, and transfer those images to a flash drive or cd. Once you've got the user account you want established, keep OnyX [url]http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html[/url] on disk to repair permissions and run maintenance (although that may not be necessary for a while after an OS install).
