Hi all, I was told by a friend, that after updating to leopard 10.5.7, that it wouldn't be a good idea to use onyx, because some maintinance programs don't take in to account the variables of the updates, but I had run repair permissions, with no problem, but my friend said he'd run onyx on his system, and see if things would be okay. It does take a bit of setting up to run onyx, so my friend sent me his p-list file, which I installed in my prefferences folder before running onyx in automation mode.
