in macOS edited January 2014
Although I have not added any software (two updates though), I am getting an error message on Network in Systems Preferences "Your network settings have been changed by another application". I click on OK and the message returns and will not allow me to do anything in Systems Preferences. Moreover, I cannot close Network so I have to use Force Quit to stop.



I removed one update and the problem remained. The other update was Security Update 2008-006 (intel)



My OS is 10.4.11 and my iMac is 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo



I still have access to the internet.



Any help?

    Look at the Console log. Open Console in Utilities.

    Have you installed any VPN or network drivers?

    No but I found the problem,,,it was the Security update 2008-006 (Software Updates) in which many, many users had the same problem using Tiger. I was able to stop the message by continually using the return key until it stopped.



    Apple needs to fix in its Software Updates.
