HI there, I first started using this forum to solve some troubleshooting with my iphone and I found all the help I could have dreamed for so here I am again ... I updated my macbook core duo to Leopard and even though I love beeing at the latest soft or update I still wonder if that was a good idea (to do the update) ... See I find my laptop a lil slower now ... Here is my problem ... I set up time machine earlier and for this i had to empty my external hard drive as it'd be formated in the process ... I threw some of the files to the trash and I couldn't empty the trash anymore coz some files had protected rights from my gf's laptop who also used the ext hard drive ... So I browsed the net a little and did a few manip like "sudo" and finally got rid of these files using "root" ... Now everytime I wanna put something in the trash it gives me the only option to delete it "permanently" or cancel the process ... I liked the old process where files where stored in the trash until I finally decide to empty it ... How do I set it back ??? Also I can't get Adobe CS3 to work now that I updated ... Leopard really grrrrrrrrrrr Thanx for ur help
