Yes, I do not understand why the guy told me the restore disks were superior. I think from a support standpoint, the CD's represent a known working version. So I agree the TimeMachine version reflected my system before I messed it up. <br />

Thanks, that solves this problem from a different angle.

I corruped a config file and have been advised to restore fom the original disks. I do have an external 1T drive and have been using TimeMachine.<br />
<br />
What advice can you offer me before I take the plunge and un restore? I got the PC a month ago and have installed a few programs. Should I expect any type of configuration to change in the process, for example?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Advice before restoring my Mac Snow Leopard from CD

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.

Mac OS X

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

Apple OS

Programs written for the Apple operating systems are distinguished from software created for other operating systems in that it must be approved by Apple for use on its devices, whether it is from Apple (Final Cut, iWork, Keynote, Logic Pro and GarageBand are popular titles), or is a third party application from Parallels, Nuance, Microsoft and Amazon, among many others.
