Big Problems w/ Tiger...please help!!

I've been running Tiger on my G5 for about a week now, and something has just gone wrong. None of my applications will open...I get the "application quit unexpectedly" for just about all of them. Safari opens, but the pages are scrambled. I tried to re-install Tiger, but the computer seems to have forgotten my account name and password---becuase when I enter them, it says they are incorrect. Also, the computer will not restart or shut down correctly. I wait and eventually have to turn the power off. I'm out of solutions. Any ideas???

    i did a clean install of windows, then newest 5.10 nforce from nvidia.com, I did not installed firewall.
    And everything was cool except ethernet because it was not recognized (I mean the Nvidia was recognized but realtek gigabit was not recognized). here is the first question, Do I really need gigabit lealtek enabled in bios to connect to internet???
    i have a comcast high speed internet and on other boards I don't need to configure anything, just install the windows and internet was working. unfortunately here is different, after installing windows and drivers n-force I don't have acces to the internet!!!!!!! I don't know what to do. On the back of mobo there arwe 2 lan connections slot.

  • Font problem in Tiger, please help!

    For some reason in Mail and Address Book all my info is corrupt.
    The word 'from' in Mail is in some condensed font and the copy that follows that is a sentence like a cat has walked over my keyboard. Basically loads of characters depicting the 'contact' etc has been replaced with something not disimilar to this 'dsndjnasdn djsnasodnsx nasdmadas'. Any answers that would help much appreciated.
    I have tried to change the systems fonts etc but it still does this. All my contacts in Address Book are listed as a load of letters and numbers.

    Hi Danny,
    Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
    but not 180, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
    =COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
    or
    =SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
    Regards,

    P.S. I have tried other effects including transitions and it still won't let me drag.

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

  • HT1386 i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

    i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
    The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    iPods need less power to charge them (their wall charger is half the power of the iPad's, 5W as opposed to 10W), so are more likely to charge via USB

  • I have a serious problem with GridBagLayout please help

    I have an working code of an Swing application that has used gridbaglayout it works very well in desktop pc on 2000/xp with 800 x 600 screen resolution but the problem is when i change the screen resolution to higher say at 1152 x 864 resolution then the same code all the components are left align and not properly distributed even though i have GridbagConstraints.BOTH for the fill variable of the Gridbaglayout. Also i am facing similar problem when i run the code on the laptop.

  • Tm2 1010ea problems!! PLEASE HELP

    PLEASE HELP!!
    I only just got my Tm2 1010ea yesterday and I'm already having problems.
    I started it up, completed the initial setup and everything was fine. Then I tried to install itunes and norton 360 (which I know had compatability issues but i tried anyway ) and then the problems started.
    Firstly, the icon for the touchsmart app changed and when I went to click it, i got an error message saying the program couldn't be located. Loads of other shortcuts stopped working as well.
    Even when I went to Start -> All programs
    I couldn't start the HP touchsmart app. Apparently Windows couldn't find the program!!
    So I did a system restore to the recovery point before I installed itunes and norton.
    Some of the shortcuts started working again but not all. Also, when I launched touchsmart, I couldn't get music or video or tutorials or webcam to work. I could get calendar and some of the other apps though.
    So then I did another system restore this time to the very first recovery point. But still no good.
    After hours of searching the web for answers, I downloaded a driver from the hp website which fixed the music, photo and video apps in touchsmart, but I still can't get webcam or tutorials to work.
    Also, my HP advisor doesn't work!!
    Since I only got the laptop yesterday I don't have anything on it that I need to keep so is there a way I can delete/clear EVERYTHING so that the laptop goes back to how it was before I even set it up?
    It's very frustrating because according to my program manager itunes and norton have been removed and it looks like everything system wise has been restored to the original "settings", but the fact that when i open program files or program files (x86) I still have itunes and norton folders makes me think that it's interferring with my programs!!
    If anyone can please help i'd really appreciate it!!! As you can probably tell, i'm not exactly proficient with computers but i didn't think i was THAT bad....

    Hi,
    It's not so easy to uninstall Norton product. Standard uninstallation process always leaves some files from this software in system. You will have too use Norton Removal Tool. iTunes is often very problematic software too.
    All pre-installed software on your laptop You will find in C:\swsetup folder. All latest drivers You will find here.
    From this what I see the best solution on your problems will be restoring system to orginal state. How to do that? Restart your system and press F11 on boot. For more information about it check below document:
    Using HP Recovery Manager in Windows 7

  • Mac mini intel shut down problem !! please help !!

    When I log off my user and then press the shutdown button at the login window, it shuts down normally.

    please help
    thanks

    Good catch. I would never have though of that since I eagerly anticipate each chance I get for a clean install.
    I much prefer to get a clean start and consciously change the things I need to work - often I find that the defaults really are better and would otherwise be stuck in habit...

  • My updates are failing.  Adobe application manager may be damaged.  I have downloaded and installed a new copy and the problem persists.   Please help.

    I am trying to update Photoshop CS6 in order to read my camera's RAW files.  It is a camera that is supported by Adobe Photoshop CS6.  However, when I try to get the Adobe Application Manager to update the software, it fails to do so.  (The spinning wheel tells me it is checking for updates and then quits, saying that "Update Failed - Updates could not be applied.  Adobe Application Manager may be damaged.  Download and install a new copy of Adobe Application Manager.")
    I have tried to reinstall the Adobe Application Manager 8.0, which gives me the following error message "We've encountered the following issues.  Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."  However, when I go to the link provided to download the Adobe Support Advisor, this piece of software NO LONGER EXISTS. "
    The Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued
    The Adobe Support Advisor tool was used to analyze installer log and system information associated with installation errors. The tool has been replaced with improved installation support mechanisms. Please visit Adobe Support section for Knowledge base articles around Installation."
    So, I have gone to the forums and took the recommended step to update my software manually - getting the update Photoshop_CS6_13_0_6upd-2.dmg.  However, this update also fails stating that my Adobe Application Manager may be damages.  Download and install a new copy of Adobe Application Manager.  Which puts me right back where I started.  
    I have also taken the step of completely reinstalling Photoshop CS6.  This did not solve the problems outlined above.  
    Please help!
