Download and instal 10.5.6 combo as a way to remove 10.5.7 update?

Since downloading 10.5.7 upgrade my modem constantly disconnects and then goes through process of reconnecting; while I sit, twiddle thumbs .... then curse, and curse some more. Can I get rid of 10.5.7 by installing 10.5.6 combo or will I visit even greater troubles upon myself?
If it's possible to revert to 10.5.6 I'd prefer to do that than go through an extended process of try this, try that ... to correct problem with 10.5.7.
Here I sit twiddling thumbs while I wait for modem to reconnect AGAIN .........

Thank you for the helpful replies.
I reinstalled Leopard (via archive and install option) from the DVD and downloaded and installed 10.5.6 combo. BLISS - my modem now works normally, which confirms the problem was due to 10.5.7.
At initial inspection all my files appear to be where they were and intact. Is there any reason why I should keep the 'Previous Systems' folder that is now (I presume unnecessarily) taking up space on the HD?
I found this comment in the topic 'Don't install 10.5.7':
" I would recommend that anyone wanting to upgrade, clone their OS and update the clone. If it works, good. If not, time for trouble-shooting on the clone until the problems is solved."
Another suggestion in this and other threads that I have read suggests that it is better to download and install combo updates from Apple than to install the Software Update version.
In the same topic zichi states: "I used my Time Machine and went back to using 10.5.6 and guess what, all the problems went away!"
I'm not using Time machine but I gather that is another way to revert to 10.5.6.

  • HT5381 "first download and install Mountain Lion"?

    The upgrade/migration guide says to "first download and install Mountain Lion".  Am I correct in assuming they just haven't updated it to say "Mavericks"?
    Thanks,
    Jascha

    Which MBP do you have?  Have you looked at the list of support machines on the Tech Specs page linked to http://www.apple.com/osx to see that your computer is there?

  • IMac G5 hangs when downloading and installing updates to 10.5

    My iMac G5 hangs when I try to download and install the recent large update to 10.5. Message says restart to complete the installation, but after restart the messages says it is configuring the software, but progress bar shows no progress after several attemps, the longest being over 12 hours. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob.

    Repair permission & restart your computer. Try reinstalling the OS update from the combo installer if you have not already done so instead of using Software Update.
    If successful, make sure you repair permissions again after all installations are completed.

  • I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

    My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
    The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
    I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
    Please help.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • Window 8.1 Chinese character cannot display properly in a game even though I have downloaded and install all chinese language packs

    Hi,
    The operation system for my computer is Window 8.1. I am currently trying to install a chinese game. Even though I have downloaded and install all the chinese language pack, I have even set the regional language locale to chinese (similified / traditional),
    the chinese characters will not display properly in the game. Some people told me i need to set the locale to Chinese PRC, but I am not sure where to download this PRC language pack for window 8.1 (as I only have chinese simplified and chinese traditional).
    I would greatly appreciate if someone can give me a hand in solving this problem. Thank you for your help in advance.

    I am trying to download Adobe Reader, I have Windows 7 on my PC. Every time I get the download, I click on it to install the program, and I get the usual messages but I never get the install message. When I try the download again, I get a message telling me only one copy of the program can go on the computer. When I check the program list, it is not there. I have to restore my computer before I can attempt the download and install again. I have tried this at least 6 times but cannot install Adobe Reader. Please help me out with this. I really like this product and prefer to use it. I had o originally delete the program, due to an update conflict.

  • I had upgraded to FF 4.0.1 a while ago. Last night I got a bubble telling me that FF 4.1.0 was available and I should download and install. This version does not seem to exist. What is this about?

    I had installed FF 4.0.1 and have been using it for a while. I am running Win XP Pro, SP2. Last night a messge came up informing me that FF 4.1 was now available and that it would be advisable to download and install it. I did this and everything seemed to work fine but when I look at the 'About Firefox' info under 'Help' it still tells me that I am running 4.0.1. Everything still seems to be functioning well but this disturbs me as it does not seem to have been a FF message. Can you please tell me if such a message was sent out, and if so, why, seeing as the version does not seem to have changed?

    To ensure that no malicious software has been installed, try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
    * Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    * SuperAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com
    * Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php
