Question for Mac nerds:

Since I installed my scanner drivers, my Photoshop keeps crashing. How do I uninstall the drivers?


Question for Firefox users:

ARGH. I am using Firefox 3 on three machines, but in one of them (windows laptop), I am not able to get pages to load by typing the address into the address bar. Well, I can type in the address, but hitting enter or the go arrow does NOTHING. I can only get to 'new' pages by clicking a link or bookmark. Any ideas?

I have the same problem with Firefox. Uninstalling and reinstalling makes the problem go away for a little while, then it's back again. I have no solution, and asking the resident geek didn't help either. Switching back to IE was not The Answer, so I use google a lot, and click on links there.

I get the same Firefox problem sometimes and the only thing that makes it go away is closing the whole lot and starting fresh.

I've had the same problem with Linux. I find that if I open a new window, hitting enter will work in that window - it's just the existing window(s) that won't work properly.

As far as I understand it, like with anything on a Mac, you simply have to drag the driver files to the trash and empty the trash.

Search for the file sames in Finder to see where they're stored and then just trash them from there. I have seen people mention that you may have some preference files elsewhere related to the driver but they say it won't hurt at all to leave them if you don't know where they are.
