I only had that issue when I upgraded, it didn't happen when I used Zephs 10.5.2

Field Note #1 @rfuilrez 2008-02-16

Check the Bay for CS3. CS2 will run like crap because it was made for Power PC (PPC) and will run through Rosetta. CS3 was written for x86 and will run good

I think that might also be the reason you get the error. Not sure.

Field Note #2 @rfuilrez 2008-02-16

Then I'm not sure. However, I would still recommend getting CS3, as I said CS2 is written for PPC. You'll see a good performance improvement.

Field Note #3 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-04

hey rfuilrez, you have to update your SMBIOS to the latest version (fixed). don't know the link, its on another thread I created, when I experienced the same problem. You will be able to run and update. enjoy

Field Note #4 @broodofqueen 2008-03-04
