Mac OS X 10.5.4 Issue

Just downloaded and installed on my Intel iMac. Required reboot, whereupon none of the files/folders resident on my desktop were visible. The "places/Desktop" link knew about the files, they just didn't show up.

Eeek.

Fix: Display resolution > 1280x800, Millions  THEN back to 1920x1200, Millions

All back to normal, now. Anyone else seen this?

Re: Mac OS X 10.5.4 Issue

I just downgraded back to 10.5.3. My computer was very screwed up by
the update (used the combo updater). The Finder was freezing and had
to hard shutdown. Could not find a remedy. First time in many years
where the combo updater resulted in such a screw-up. I may try the
Software Update version.

Oh, and thankfully I had (as a practice) made a SuperDuper clone
before attempting the update. Took 15 minutes to get back to 10.5.3.

Regards,

Howard

Have the same problem but changing the screen resolution didn't fix it. As nothing else seems to be wrong am living with it. I can get the desktop to show as a window in the finder.
