Yah... when switching to Tiger CPU monitor (saved from like Puma or Jaguar) stopped working when I dragged it to my new app folder from the old apps folder. Then I decided to try and duplicate Activity Monitor (I like to have a CPU monitor and RAM monitor in my dock) but OS X wouldn't duplicate a copy of a certain file in Activity Monitor... so I fiddled with the permissions... and then it wouldn't go back to the way it had been... so I deleted it... now I'm left with no activity monitor or CPU monitor... anyone got any suggestions for how to get the app back? I already dug around in the install DVD with no luck...

You were using the Activity Monitor from Jaguar? Wow. Why?

No activity monitor was Panther, and now I had been using the Tiger one which seems the same... I've been using CPU monitor it was a stand alone app it came with either Jaguar or Puma... it's a nice lil app. I got it back now I just need a way to figure out how to install activity monitor.

You can use my app, Pacifist, to pull Activity Monitor from the packages on the install DVD.

I still can't understand the question.
And on top of that, this is not the right damn forum for technical help. Yeesh.

Well... I reinstalled Tiger 
Not because of this, but because yesterday I assembled a backup script in Automator... that said Move items in Finder actually does move em instead of just copying if you connect to a server So I moved my entire home directory of my PowerBook to my old iMac... so I woke up to no home folder today
I decided before I spent all the time copying everything back I might as well do a clean install. So I did that, I'm gona spend the rest of the day bug checking everything cleaning up hickups... Automator didn't quite transfer my library back the way it should have (I guess cause I was logged in or something) so I'm manually doing that... but it is really nice to be able to make a nice automator script to do this backup thing regularly. I might have to see about doing it every week or so.
But yah so I now have acctivity monitor back...

Chicken. What the hell? Is college not teaching you how to make sense anymore? You were improving for a while.

OK... so uhh Tiger isn't liking me right now, the Trash is not really storing things so much as it's auto deleting anything that gets put into it... not that this is a big problem... but I figure I should probably fix it... any suggestions?

Does the invisible .Trash folder in your home folder exist? Do you have write access to it?

hehe, yah I figured out I had set permissions on my home folder to another account... go figure... permissions get in the way to much
And yes I know they're good they stop security problems etc.

Why do you keep changing permissions on everything?
And if it says 'move' it's usually a good idea assume it doesn't mean 'copy'.
