 The recently introduced Mac OS X 10.5.8 update fixes a few issues introduced in 10.5.7 like loss of BlueTooth connections and an annoying prompt for the lpadmin group password when printing. However, it also seems to have introduced a bug in the repair of permissions. We therefore recommend to Precursor customers that you let us apply this update for you.Meanwhile, Microsoft's Office 2008 Service Pack 2 (12.2.0) rendered Office unable to open some of its own format documents! (This is why we tend to set most customers "automatic" update mechanism to manual). Microsoft has fixed this in the version 12.2.1 update and since the bug also affected Office 2004 via the Open XML Converter, Microsoft now has an update for this as well to v. 1.1.1. Again we recommend for Precursor customers to allow us to apply the update for them. Click here to schedule an update at troubleshooting.precursor.ca!
