I keep getting this when I check the console window.
Finder(187) stream has too few bytes
Finder(187) path cannot be resolved: plasticscurvesegs.inactive.regular
Finder(187) Exception CIMaterialMap: spherePull: nil value for argument #0 (src)
I've searched and could only locate some discussion on parts of these messages in Russian!
Would like to know what they are, are they bad? And how to remove what is causing the messages.
Thanks

Hmmm, what Graphics App is running... if any?
I'm not running any graphic apps at the time.
OK, I think we have some Disk Corruption, it does appear to be a Finder function for handling Buttons & such!
Do you have this file?

"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
I'm still working on the problem, but I do understand it better. I used my 2nd hard drive (with 10.4.11) to run disk utility disk repair, then back to my main disk to run repair permissions ( in safe mode). I found it didn't want to reboot, claimed to be updating caches for start up, kept trying but wouldn't come back up. Finally I ran fsck -fy twice and things seem to be better, but I'm still getting the same messages in the console window. I suspect I'll have to try to locate a 10.5 install disc, reinstall, then update to 10.5.8.
Good work so far,i t may work to just reapply the big 10.5.8 Combo itself...
1058 Combo Update, 10.5.8...
