Toast 9.0.4 Incompatible With Os X 10.5.6

[The Zombie]

After waking from sleep, Toast 9.0.4 will not quit or force quit in OS X 10.5.6

Activity Monitor does not show Toast running, but Dock Icon shows it running. Attempts at re-launching Toast are unsuccessful. At this point, the only way to shut down computer is hard shut down.

 

Occasionally, attempts to launch will result in one bounce of Dock Icon, and then nothing - Only way out is the same... hard shut down.

 

I have archived and installed all new system and still have the same exact problem!!!

 

Anyone else experiencing incompatibilities with 10.5.6? 10.5.4 worked flawlessly with Toast 9.0.4.

 

Toast 8 was a disaster also! Quits, crashes, freezes, won't launch, but these were well documented by many others... what's going on... yikes!!!!!

There is another thread where users are having problems with Toast after updating to 10.5.6. I haven't seen those problems but now I'm using Toast 10 except when I need Toast 9.0.4 for DivX encoding.
