Hey there,
overall 10.5.2 works pretty well for me. Nontheless i have two things giving me a headache.

First thing is my screensaver. I've set it to "Never" and the screensaver still comes up after a few hours. I guess my second problem is a result of the screensaver.

As soon as the screensaver come up i can start to count the minutes until my first program crashes. Sometimes it happens a few hours later, sometimes only a few minutes. No matter which program, they all crash with the usual "Program closed due ... blabla" error message. Nothing more and nothing less. Once and a time i can restart the program and it's pretty stable then but nontheless it's annoying to loose stuff i have done in Photoshop.

So i could really need a helping hand.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

I have a feeling not being able to stop the screensaver might be an apple bug rather than an osx bug.
Just a thought but have you run marvin's on your system?

Until now not, no. To be honest, i'm a little afraid that it could crash my system. I'm not a crack if it comes to OS X and every crash could result in a complete reinstall which would take me a few hours (last time it took around 4 hours).

So is there something i should have taken care of before running Marvin's tool?

open marvins
choose second option create patcher package
when completed check log for errors, remove any corresponding errors from cpuid.txt
copy patches folder including patcher and cpuid.txt to root of your drive
boot -s
mount -uw /
cd /patches
./patcher cpuid.txt
thats it.
Just remove any errors, don't think there is much chance of it wrecking system at least it never has on mine

Hm ... now i'm unsure again ^^

I don't think there are errors except the one at the bottom ... nontheless i've zipped the files in the log folder.
Would someone check them please? Like i said, i prefer to ask twice to make sure that everythig is ok =)

If everything is ok i'll proceed with the next step.
