Yes! My HP scanning software works again! - Version: 10.6.2, 11/11/2009 11:34AM PST

When I first installed system 10.6, the only way the scanner would work was through Preview. There was no OCR and the quality was not what I was used to. This update fixed that. Otherwise, no problems.

Screensaver problems - Version: 10.6.2, 11/10/2009 12:46PM PST

Since updating to 10.6.2 my iPhoto screensaver does not work anymore. Or at least it takes a very long time before the screen saver starts (half an hour for some larger picture folders). Also when I select a picture folder as a screen saver the screen saver and/or System Preferences stalls completely and my system's blowers ramp up. It seems as if the pictures screen saver doesn't use spotlight anymore but does a file-by-file search. With my photo library with over 50.000 photo's that's taking much too long. Before updating to 10.6.2 the screensaver was working effortlessly, starting in seconds. Reapplying the combo updater and rebuilding the spotlight indexes does not help.

Serious Finder problem still not fixed - Version: 10.6.2, 11/10/2009 06:59AM PST

We recently purchased a new (late 2009) iMac with 10.6.1 pre-installed. It is unusable (with our set up) as the Finder continuously crashes. However, when booted from an external drive running 10.5.8, all works well. Seeing that this issue effected others (see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2135129&start=0&tstart=0), we were hoping that the 10.6.2 update would fix this issue. Unfortunately, it didn't. We're now seriously considering erasing the main drive and downgrading our new iMac to 10.5.8 permanently (or at least until there is a 10.6.x upgrade that is guaranteed to solve this issue). We clearly won't be updating any of our other Macs (including our Server) to 10.6 any time soon.
