My friend's Mac OS X is crashing every 20 minutes since her last Software Update... can it be fixed? My friend bought a Mac OS X in January 2004. Two years ago, she upgraded to Leopard. Her Mac performed OK, although it froze now and then.

The only two options are: restore from a Time Machine backup from any or do an Archive and Install from the Leopard disc.

"Have her boot into safe mode and try the update.

She can boot into safe mode by holding the shift key when powering up until the grey apple appears. Safe mode can take a long time to boot."
