hi-I am trying to work out whats going on with a quad g5 Ive acquired. It has 2 hard drives-one with 10.4.11 and one with 10.5.6.Im Using same monitor on both.

1) The windows in safari are fine in 10.4 but much too short and wide on 10.5 so I cant view much. I cant seem to change this-fiddling with display prefs doesnt do it.

2) Streaming music eg you tube or last fm sounds fine through 10.4, but awful with 10.5 (drops,intermittent scratchy sound,sometimes doesnt work). Have tried comparisons with computer's own speaker,headphones,external soundcard(edirol fa-66)but 10.5 horrible in all cases

any ideas on either issue? Im a newbie so technical understanding pretty limited Im afraid.

thanks in advance
