Hi Alicia,

What I was saying is that regardless of how the installers APPEAR to be
working those files that I stated below may have become corrupt in the past
and by removing them prior to running the current version of installers in
question may fix this problem (because in effect, your are installing them
for the "first time" and not building on top of previous file information).

Otherwise I would want to rule out a corrupted system folder in general
(perhaps a clean install or upgrade to 7.6.1 and OT 1.1.2 and OT/ppp)

P.S. How much memory does these macs have?
