ALERT ABOUT FRONTROW!!!!!

[reddrag0n]

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT install frontrow with the frontrow hack on a G4 machine that does not support it. Due to several complaints about the hack, it makes it so your menuette's dissapear and also make it so your system crashes. Hence my problem. I tried their way of repairing it, but to my demise, i have to reformat, reinstall.

JJ,
I have installed this on 6 machines without a problem & used over a 2 month period. G5,G4 x3, Powerbook.

Have done some more research from your links, it does seem that front row is the culprit, although I am typing from a machine with it on & no probs, strange?

Well, i had front row on my machine before with the original hack and yeah, my machine was working fine. This all didn't happen untill i installed the hack for the 1.2.2 update that my machine lost all it's menuettes (icons IE spotlight, clock, display) and started responding speratticly. that was a hayday and a half, trying to get everything fixed and me dreading that i would have to do what windows users call a "nuke & pave".

I have the latest hack on my machine & it is working OK. 1.2.2 update. There must be something else also at work here, but good to warn others of this potential problem.
