This software is another reason I love my Mac so much more than my PC. I spent a long time trying to find something comparable for the PC and couldn't. All those repetitive tasks you do every day, let iKey do them for you! Open the news, run backups, load my most used web pages BEFORE I start work. The other feature I like is setting my own short cuts for tasks. When I want to be in Photoshop, I press alt + P. When I want to forward an article to my colleagues, I copy the article and press alt + C... it is fantastic!! This software will pay for itself with time saved many times over!!!

The general solution is to have a backup of your previous system that you can easily access after the upgrade to Snow Leopard. Then remove/uninstall iKey. Then install Snow Leopard. After updating to the latest update for Snow Leopard and a final reboot, then do a clean reinstall of iKey. Before running it, move back all the files originally on your previous system. Don't for get the PLIST preference file! NOW run iKey and it should be fine.
Or, if you haven't installed iKey on the boot volume, after finishing your Snow Leopard updates, then install iKey.
There may be a simpler way to do this! But at the moment, this is what is known to work.
