Since updating to 9.1 (clean install) I have a couple of *small* problems. First , the built in calculator will not work anymore.It gives me an out of memory warning even though I have 384MB in my G4 . Also the Sherlock link in the toolbar of Internet Explorer 5 no longer works. I have run TechTool 3, Disk First Aid, Zapped the PRAM and Rebuilt the Desktop all to no avail. Anyone else have these problems or know how to fix them. I know they are minor problems , but they are the only ones I have and I would like to solve them and have no problems. Thanks

make sure that sherlock is actually still installed on your machine. when i updated to 9.1 my sherlock disappeared and i had to extract it from the disc image.

Sherlock is still there and it still works fine. It' s as if IE5 has a dead alias to Sherlock. Keep the suggestions coming though. Thanks

Look in the Apple menu Items folder and see if there is an alias for Sherlock in there.If there is remove it and replace it with either the original Sherlock app. or a copy of the original not an alias.
