Please be patient, there aren't that many people here with good knowledge of PPC Macs (I for one have none...).

It may take several hours (or even more than a day) for someone to reply.


You might want to try a reinstall, since you don't lose much (except time) I guess.

I haven't installed 8.10 yet but I have seen some threads on a workaround for your problem. One of them is one the same page as your thread. You should do a search of the forum while you are waiting for someone that can answer your question. They will probably give you a link to the threads you need to read. I don't think you will need to reinstall.
