Without a Downgrader for QT 7.1.1, or anyone even knowing that QT breaks this one part of Toast for some time, I did an "archive and install", and then updated everything except Quicktime.

The archive and install left me with a "prevoius user file", which contained all my earlier settings and apps. I needed to refer to these old apps since not everything worked after the archive install. It was really a huge file.

There is apparently now a way to downgrade ALL Quicktime versions after 7.02, for all the many users that find Toast 7.1.1 breaks some of their 3rd party sw. Haven't used it though.
I'll have a working Sandbox before the next Apple update. Still have not made sure it works. Again I changed the name of Quicktime, to differentiate the varioius versions I had, while testing which ones worked with which versions of Toast. A mistake.

The QuickTime 7.0.1 Reinstaller will remove QuickTime 7.0.2 or later and restore your system to QuickTime 7.0.1.

"This is useful, for instance, if an application which is installed by the operating system becomes damaged and needs to be reinstalled without the hassle of reinstalling all of Mac OS X."

The good news is, I got one combined Panther update which is suppose to work much better than all the incremental updates.
