Hello Just to help you a little bit..... All my Macintosh computers have the MacOsX 10.4 install, with all the MacUpdate, Apple Update, Adobe Update, Microsoft Mac Update installed. It's very strange. I really don't know if it's a Mac problem or if it's a problem with the Helper that has difficulty to talk with Mac Computers. Thanks.
