    Hello,

     

    Is there a reason you're running 10.4.2 instead of the much later 10.4.11 ?

     

    What security/encryption are you using now, & what would you like to go to?

     

    So we know more about it...

     

    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware> and report this upto but not including the Serial#...
