Help! - Version: 1.01, 1/8/2006 05:07PM PST

What am I doing wrong? I do music on my mac (tiger) so I've tried to download dashoff 3 times. Each time I've gotten a folder that includes another folder labeled __MACOSOX that is empty and an icon labeled Dashoff_101. When I double click on it I get a message about "Classic cannot find a Mac OS 9 system folder on the start up disk..." Thanks for any help.
Dash Off works as advertised except for..... - Version: 1.01, 8/19/2005 12:25PM PST

Unlike the other feedback which is nothing more than venting about the weakest link in Mac OSX aka, "The Dock", this is about DashOff. It works as advertised. With it you can easily turn the Dashboard on or off as you desire. It has a no-brainer installation and takes up virtually no space on the drive.
It worked great on my Powerbook G4/ Tiger, BUT.... after installing it on my iMac G5/Tiger, the whole thing came to a screaching halt. The system was dragged down to a crwal with all operations timing out. I finally got the disk utility open and managed to do a permissions repair.
This is what resulted.

I don't know if this is directly related to DashOff but since the repair included Widgets, I suspect it did. The system works fine now but I have stopped using DashOff until I can research it some more.
If you DashOff guys are listening, maybe you can fix this.
If you Apple guys are listening, why don't you just put an on/off switch on Dashboard.

The reviews I've seen here are not about DashOff, but about Apple. Please see my full review under the comments for version 1.01, as well as my response to the feedback of Truckstopboy regarding the RAM. DashOff works well, and there is nothing strange going on with RAM. It reduces the RAM that the Dock occupies, exactly as one would expect by turning off an application (or in this case, a whole set of applications). My comments regarding RAM are under his feedback.
Please don't use a product review to voice your distaste for Apple, thereby lowering the rating of a perfectly good product. DashOff does what it advertises, does it in about 2 seconds, and works without flaw.
