10.4.11 Safari / Finder Nightmare!

[uphype]

I have 2 new issues after upgrading to 10.4 from 10.3 - I just did a "Safari update" a few days ago...

1) Safari takes forever to load and says can't contact Spell Checker. Then works ok for a few minutes then stalls out about every 15-20 minutes.

2) When i start up, the Finder menu bar is as it always is BUT! when I start up Safari the menu changes as below starting with "Sleep"...

Sleep
Restart...
Restart
Shutdown...
Shutdown
Logout...
Logout

I know the one with periods will give me an option to cancel that particular action I have chosen but the ones without the periods are new and are one-step actions - why are they both showing up?

I have also tried upgrading to Safari Beta 4 and it seems to have helped the slow connection - at least so far.

I also downloaded MainMenu but don't know what tasks to perform.

I have attached a few screen shots so you can see what I mean about the "Black Outline" around selected objects and the Finder menu.

Thanks!

You have VoiceOver on. Hit F5 or Command-F5. You must not have sound working?

Wow!

I feel really stupid! Any help on the Safari problem?

Thanks man!

maybe you just need to re install safari. it might have just loaded weird.
