Network app crashes on start-up everytime, OS X 10.4.x

by websterphreaky - 12/17/09 7:38 AM

I've searched everywhere for a solution and I've had it before on another Mac, but can't remember how I solved it. Hope someone recalls the solution for this issue. Please don't suggest updating to 10.5, I'm not investing in a copy just for this old PPC G4 1.2Ghz iBook with a dead Firewire port (another famous iBook flaw).

Problem - Every time I launch Network from the Go menu, it momentarily shows (just a flash) the window and immediately crashes and disappears. Repeated efforts to launch does nothing.

I've deleted the appropriate prefs from the Library and still failure.

Thanks

I ignored it and use the "Connect to Server" option further down that list

Using that is not going to be efficient to me or us; I need to see all connected devices on a Network windows pane. We have so many connected devices, both OS X, Linux and Windows based, typing in server addresses, which the less tech oriented in our family aren't likely to remember or know how, is just not an option.

I thought OS X was so "user friendly" and stable .... sure not seeing it here. Maybe situations like this ought to be in those clever Mac vs PC ads? Truth in advertising?
