Hi everyone,
I've been having a problem with what i thought could have been the display. As i moved the mouse around I would get some sorta of distortion and slight shifting in lines and texts on the screen and slight blurs. I called apple care and the solution at this point (because after making a test user and logging in on that, this problem did not occur) is to reinstall my operating system without erasing all of my other data and fies, which I was really hoping for because I have final cut studio and CS3 and Logic pro that most probably know how long that takes to install.
Now my question is, If I got an OS-X leopard disc, can I install that the same way or will I have to back up all of my files on an external, install the new operation system, and then reinstall applications and file? Please help and thanks in advance!
-Rob

The Archive and Install option preserves users, applications and network settings but provides a fresh OS X system. This is probably what they were referencing.
You should always have a backup, but no you don't technically have to backup all files and applications then restore them. Archive-Install preserves those.

Just a warning, you may have to reinstall CS3 due to the amount of files it installs all over the system. Logic Pro may or may not have to be reinstalled though.
