HELP!!!

I installed the 10.2.5 update and then every time my PB tried to present a drop down menu/box, my PB completely froze. It starts to come down and about half way down it completely freezes.

I try repairing permissions, but no luck…still freezes with EVERY drop down

So I reinstall from the 10.2 CD, and then do the following:

Repair permissions
Install 10.2.3 update
Repair permissions
Install 10.2.4 update
Repair permissions
Skip the 10.2.5 update
Install 10.2.6 update

BLAM!!!! Again every drop down freezes my PB completely

So, I reinstall again. Then I do the same sequence of updating and repairing permissions. However, this time I do all of the updates and repairs while logged in as “root” (thinking it might make a difference)

Again, once I go past the 10.2.4 update, EVERY drop down causes a complete system freeze.

Again, I reinstall everything. I’m currently at 10.2.4. I’m afraid to go past 10.2.4 because I don’t want to spend another Sat afternoon rebuilding everything.

I want to use the new iSync which requires at least 10.2.5.

Has anyone out there had the same issue? I tried searching the forums and the web, but can’t find mention of any similar problems.

Am I missing something?

What can I do differently?

What the heck do I need to do so I can run the current OS 10.2.6!!!!!

Uh, why aren't you using the combined update to 10.2.6 instead of going from one version to the next? Install 10.2 and then install the combined updater. That should help.

I tried what you suggested. Going straight to 10.2.6 using the Combo update results in the same issues.

I also tried repairing the disk and permissions by booting with the OS 10.2 disk and running disk utility...didn't work either.

ibook_steve, what else can I do? I really appreciate your willingness to help.
