so, im playing the free trial to see how well it runs on my macbook and i keep getting a message that says i have to restart my comp and it tells me how. any idea as to why its doing this?
 
Are you getting the grey screen with instructions? If you are, that's a kernel panic. If you look in /Library/Logs/PanicReporter, there will be files for each panic. A quick look will give you an idea of what's crashing the machine....
 
OK, there should be some files in /Library/Logs/PanicReporter ( in Leopard, at least, can remember if that's right for Tiger ), one for each panic. Fancy posting one?
