Thanks Apple Support!

I elected to install the update last night. After the obligatory dialog asking me to restart, the computer hung. For a long time. Thinking it was safer to let it go, I left it run. When my computer finally rebooted, I was presented with a login window. Logging in, I was presented with the registration wizard as if I had a fresh install. No matter how many times I fill out the forms, I cannot successfully log in. Booting from my Leopard install DVD, I can see my files are still there, so I'm copying them to an external drive and going to do a clean install. For the record, I do have backups, so I'm not worried about losing data. Worst update ever, IMHO. DISASTER! I elected to install the update last night.

I did some digging online and it looks like it is not a error that is coursed by this update but and "old" Mac OS 10.5 error :oS - I rebooted once and then the problem where gone @Bruno

Anyway, isn't it something to do with QE, rather than the CPU you're using? @Steve, I didn’t know the G4 machines supported transparency, I know my G4 mini doesn’t.

Intermittent success getting stuff to show in /Volumes and ExpanDrive just seems to churn with no positive outcome. Some MacFUSE-related software is not looking so good after 10.5.2 update.

Is this an intel specific feature? Anyone else with Power PC notice this? On my iBook G4, I don’t have the option to turn the transparency off, only on my iMac. Is this an intel specific feature?
