Default Serious Retail Snow Leopard Problems for Me

Hello everyone,
I just upgraded from the beta, and I have some serious problems. everything is crashing. like when I right click, Then hover over "Open With" Finder Crashes. Safari can hardly open a page without crashing. Firefox Barely works, so I downgraded back to leopard, I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

Thank You
Mast3rRoot

Not here. Did my MacBook and wife's Mini and they're both humming along nicely.

You could try formatting, fresh install, then restore from time machine.

It's been said before that when upgrading from any Beta or previous build besides 10A432, that there would be problems.

You need to do a full backup, and install a fresh clean copy of Snow Leopard.

Just do a full backup, and then do a fresh install like I said, and you won't have any problems at all

This Problem is not so Serious, but very annoying, I reinstalled everything, and it worked, but one problem. In Snow Leopard there is a software keyboard, I usually dont use it, but when Mac OS X asks me to type my admin password, it pops up. I would like to know if there is a way to disable it from popping up because i have to close the little window to continue using my computer, and it is just getting plain annoying. It would help a lot to disable it, because I type my admin Password about 1000 times a day. I should maybe switch back to the beta because I did not have this problem in the beta.

Thank You

Nevermind, figured it out,

If anyone else has this problem, just go to System/Library/Input Methods/KeyboardViewer.app

Then go to activity monitor and search "keyboard", kill the process and quickly drop the Keyboardviewer in the trash.

You will need an admin password to move it.
Remember, that once you empty the trash, it is gone, and it will no longer be available.
