Preps 5 on Mac OS 10.6

[Colin Gilham]

I'm about to upgrade our old Macs to iMacs running 10.6 Snow Leopard.

Does anyone know of any issues with Preps 5.3 and Mac OS 10.6?

I'm running 5.3.3 on 10.6.5. No real issues other than Preps occasionally decides that the dongle is not plugged in, even though it is. A restart of the Mac cures it for a while.

Hi DCurry.
I had the same problem with Preps 5.3.3. It would work for a while but if Preps was idle for more than a few hours it would tell me that I was using more than one copy of Preps with the same dongle. Other weird stuff too. It started after I updated to version 5.3.3.
A few days ago I re-installed Preps but only took it to 5.3.1 and now everything works fine. I think that the 5.3.3 build from Kodak is buggy.
Just my 2¢.

Yup, that happens to me as well. Maybe I'll try your solution. Thanks!

That's very interesting information. I think I'll install 5.3.1 and if it give no problems will leave it there!
