1. I did. However, I was not sure that the version on the external was for Lion (it dated back to February 2011). It seemed to work, although did not resolve my issue. The update disk that I created with their updater did not boot the computer. Was that because it was a CD (as it told me to insert) rather than a DVD or because the original OS was Tiger? Have no idea...

2. 22 bucks is for a new DVD that will work with Lion. They did not offer a download on this deal. Because I could not find a definitive info on their site as to what version of DW will boot newer Macs, I decided to get a DVD. Will post back when it comes, so I could tell you whether this is the same version as before or a newer one. To me, a lot of things are very cryptic when it comes to Alsoft. They don't update the program, they update disk for booting.

New questions. Since I have no feedback as to what to do with the browser problem, I decided to clone my work computer, which is very similar to the home one with a problem, and try to replace user library with the one of the clone. However, I am afraid to replace all of it (not sure if everything was customized in the same way), so will try stepwise. My inclination is to start with the preferences pertaining to Apple because it seems to be due to some system problem. Does it sound reasonable? I guess, I don't need to mess with the main Library or System/Library because the test account works fine. Or maybe replace the test account completely with the one from the clone and use it as the main one?
