Thank you! I'll be testing it shortly. Next challenge is reinstalling my acapella voices, but I might wait on that for a few days. I'm guessing I just run the installs from the DVDs again and reenter my licence info, but I seem to recall that someone said that those voices had issues on clean lion installs, so am not sure what to do. Thanks again, and I hope that you're having a great day!

I know I can go into system preferences and change the startup disc there, and I'm happy to do that, but was just wondering if there is a quicker, easier way. Also, if I ever get bootcamp up and running, what is the procedure for avoiding that stupid recovery partitian, and how do I choose whether I want to boot into mac or windows? > Since I've gone to all the trouble of doing this clean lion install, > I'm going to try and stick with it, but I still find the OS to be quite yucky > when compared to SL. > Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide, and I'm sure > I'll have more questions as I continue trying to get this thing up and > running. > Missy > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
