CRUNC  This fix isn't working for me on my Mac mini (recently purchased) with the released Snow Leopard. I installed the new MenuCracker and and Sound Menu, logged out and back in and double-clicked MenuCracker and then Sound Menu. Nothing appeared in the menu bar. I have had success with MenuMeters, though. The 10.6 compatible version seems to work fine, but not SoundMenu (or perhaps MenuCracker is the issue?)

CRUNC  As long as you understand the limitations of Crossover (most importantly that it is only *fully* compatible with a *very* short list of Windows software, and that even then it can be flaky), it does have its uses. At the very least the ability to run Internet Explorer for Windows so you can access annoying web sites that are windows Internet Explorer only, is very useful if in fact you need to do that. Also it runs Windows Media Player pretty well and the Windows version is compatible with many more WMP files and streams then the Mac version. Beyond that, if you like to tinker, you will find that it at least partly runs a fair amount of Windows software that isn't officially supported, even more if you are capable of tinkering with the guts. Unlike running Windows software in VMWare Fusion or (egad!) Parallels, CrossOver is pretty memory efficient - you aren't running an entire OS in addition to your software - and you don't need to own a copy of Windows at all. So, for the right crowd, CrossOver is a useful tool and worth the asking price.
