Hello,

I've just recently downgraded back to 10.2.6 from 10.2.8. It was a clean fresh install again. But now I am having some problems with my softwares. Most programs will run with no problems, but now, there are few programs that won't run at all. For example... programs like PandoCalendar and mlMac won't run at all anymore. They will start, bounce once on my dock, than close itself again. Why is it doing this? is there a way I can fix this without having to reinstall my OS again? I know this can't be those programs because I've ran them before without any problems....

Thanks... any advice would be much helpful...

Ming

I would suggest reinstalling the applications and repairing permissions. That's usually what causes application problems like you describe.

Well, I have repaired my permissions, and also reinstalled the app. But it still does the same thing, the only thing I forgot to correct is that, it doesn't even bounce once on my dock. it'll show up on my dock, than closes again. I have no clue what could be the cost of this...

Try creating a new user and launching the apps with that user. If they launch in that, then it's something in your Library, like a pref or something, and no reason to reinstall.

I've tried what you suggested, but those programs still won't launch at all... won't even get into the program... Maybe still something I need to fix in my library? I'm new to the Mac, started last March, so I still haven't figured out the coding and system files yet... Any other ideas?

Thanks...
