I'm writing this for a buddy of mine that just converted to Mac from PC.
He's on a Titanium Pwrbook and has a clean install of Panther.

He experiences sytem freezes on and off while using Exposé.His RAM was installed by Apple.

I did a search and could not find anyone with this problem. I searched for a corruped .plist but I cannot find one either in ~Library/Preferences or Library/Preferences.
Is it a hidden file? Does anyone know what to do?

thanks.

try creating a new user account and logging out of the original one and in with the new one, and then seeing if expose freezes up on that account.

if so, i have absolutely no clue what to do, other than maybe an archive and install from the panther dvd.

that is a big extreme, but _hopefully_ either a. the new user account will work, or b. someone else can shed some light on this.

by the way, if the new user does work, then copy all the stuff out the old user account and use the new one.

Thanks a lot for the reply, I would not have thought of creating a new user. I'll let him know and report back with the findings. It may take a few days since he is out of town often.

Thanks again.
