Okay. Now with the iMac running (that is, when it's cooperating with you that day), go into the Apple Menu (Top left corner of the screen) go into Control Panels, then select Software Update. Make sure you have the correct settings for Internet Access chosen as well before you use Software Update. In other words, if you are using Ethernet as your connection (i.e., cable modem or ADSL, etc.) make sure you change the settings in the TCP/IP Control Panel for Elthernet and "Using DHCP Server", so that it automatically will establish the IP address from your router. If you use dial-up modem, make sure you dial into your ISP and establish a connection that way. Of course, if you obviously already know all about this, then I'll take your word for it that you have successfully connected online and that I am just being condescending towards you. )

Anyway, use Software Update to download as much updates for your iMac. Hopefully, one of them will be iMac Firmware Update version 4.x.x or equivalent. Follow the instructions and get the firmware updated. The whole purpose of this is to be ready just in case you need Tech Tool Pro 4.x, which I'm working on building a CD of.
