-i take it you only have tiger dvd not leopard?
-i would try this
-download carbon copy and make image of your present system (
http://bombich.com/index.html)
-save image to external usb stick/harddrive ect (make sure drive is mac osx journaled...or image wont be seen by disk utility if you try and reimage)
-install osx tiger doing clean install (erase and option to write zero's to harddrive)
-then if you can live with some older versions of software and system runs good...you should be ok
-if you can't live without leopard,and dont have means to buy/get fresh copy...just reimage using tiger dvd and use disk utility to reimage the image you saved on usb/portable harddrive
simple............
--------------------------------------------------------------------
here are some tricks to make tiger run faster
-in dock use scale effects and no mag or animate...also turn wallpaper off and use colored
-turn off dashboard and turn off spotlight,if has bluetooth turn that also off
To turn Dashboard off: use terminal
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
You have to restart the Dock after making either change for it to take effect:
killall Dock
To turn Spotlight off: use terminal
cd /etc
sudo nano hostconfig
SPOTLIGHT=-NO-
ctrl-x
y
enter
Then to get rid of the existing index, run these two commands
sudo mdutil -i off /
sudo mdutil -E /
reboot computer
remove spotlight icon
1. As an administrator, navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices, and delete Search.bundle. If you think might want to re-enable it later, just move it somewhere else or rename it.
2. Open up the Activity Monitor and force quit SystemUIServer. When it reopens, your menu bar will be Spotlight free.
install camino browser and lastest version of flash
note in camino you can set to block flash and web adverts
note: with tiger 10.4.11 updates will not give you latest itunes so google for version 9.2.1 (5)
good luck
