Hi ive just got a G5 dual 2.5 with osx tiger 10.4.1
I have only installed a few programs so far but am now getting a lot of errors
when trying to open quark 6 files the program unexpectedly quits, when opening
quark 5 files it comes up unknown error (-50) photoshop cs2 won't open files and the program unexpectedly quits, suitcase x1 won't load fonts in.
everything was working fine until one day everything just started playing up at once, but things kind of work in safe mode but not all
has anyone got any ideas????

these are the programs i have installed
quark 6.5
adobe creative suite 2 premium
suitcase x1
font doctor
flightcheck professional
toast 7
stuffit expander 10
 
I'd first update to Mac OS X 10.4.3 - this might already solve some of the problems.

Then I'd create a new account (System Preferences - Users) for testing. Do the applications work there? If so, then it's a settings problem of your main account. If not, it seems like the applications' installation is somehow flawed and you'd probably be best off cleaning them out and re-installing them.

Of the installed programs: Which are the ones with trouble? Could a defective font file be the problem? If Suitcase is already acting up, the other applications could have problems handling the fonts provided. Maybe try re-installing only Suitcase, set up your fontsets anew (make a clean one for starters...).
 
first when i try to install osx 10.4.3 it has a red x over my hard drive and says does not meet the requirments??
i tried the new account and the the files still don't open
i have also deleted suitcase and reinstalled it still, the files don't work
but i did notice the fonts i had loaded before i deleted it are still there
is there an extension or something i need to delete too??
because when trying to delete certain fonts they crash suitcase
