I am so frustrated:
I use windows alot on my las gen imac.
The machine is the middle of the road version with the ATI 1600x graphics and the faster CPU.
I had a hell of a time installing leopard. I couldnt upgrade so i just backed up everything and did a clean install, then reinstalled ilife and everything else.
Since i run windows alot (i use mac for graphics and video and my family uses windows for everything else since this is what they are used to) i didnt use leopard much.
when i started to use leopard to do a website project in photoshop cs3 i noticed that:
leopard locks up all the time. constantly... without fail.
I cannot get a remedy to the problem. there are also video artifacts. Such as lines across the screen, and some funky looking jittery looking lines when i view complex photoshop docs etc.
So i see that this is some sort of video issue? I have tried installing a "fix" from apple that dates to november, a week after leopard launched, but this package will not install - it tells me the software is not necessary.
the computer has all current updates to today (Feb 8th) and i need to be able to get a stable OS... i am ready to return the computer to the store (it is under a non apple warranty at FRYS electronics) and get service call, they will give me a loaner but PUHLEASE.... why do i need to do this??
This is OBVIOUSLY a driver issue, and needs a work around... and NO, i havent tried releasing the pram yet. I wanted to see what people said here before i screwed around with yet more stuff that could potentially screw up my system... at lease windows works as it is now. the last thing i need is to mess that up somehow.
