Messed up my iMac
Got a new alu imac, since the 1.1 upgrade it's been freezing so I thought I'd reinstall the 1.0 update - in doing so I've messed up the OS - it starts by saying that one of the x2000 extensions was improperly installed and it thinks it isn't quartz extreme compatible. It also won't shutdown. Silly me for thinking I could help!
Anyway what I need help with is what to do next, can I just do another OSW install over it to bring it back to 10.4.whatever then re-run the updates (apart from 1.1) or will this wipe my users/apps/settings etc? is there a way I can get it to just fix the OS and not these things. Sorry for such a dumb question but in a decade of mac ownership I've never really had to do this kind of thing.
Thanks.
