Can you explain what the Growl Menu Item does. Is this to show the Growl icon in the menu allowing a user to turn Growl on or off as need be. If that is all I'd rather not go back on all 3 Macs and a Backup Hard Drive just to include that. GOD knows I have more than enough menu items and not enough real estate up there. As long as it doesn't affect the operation of Growl I'd rather not bother. BTW Thanks for your help and efforts.

Growl Menu Item is indeed the menu item.
I do not understand why you are going through multiple drives for this. You have to go into system prefs/accounts/your account/startup items in order to remove the startup items, you stop Growl and the menu item, and then you go into ~/Library/PreferencePanes and delete Growl.prefpane, and go into /Library/PreferencePanes and delete Growl.prefpane.
Let me explain

I have 3 Powerbooks and an iMac Plus a Bootable Terabyte External Hard Drive That is also bootable.as well as An external 250Gb Hard Drive that is bootable.I have a G5 which is properly configured with 1.1.1 THe others have had the problem that has been described. I would have to go to System Preferences in each one and remove the log in items and then go to /library/preferencepanes to delete the Growl1.1.1 Preference pane . There is now nothing in the ~ preference pane referable to Growl. I would then have to reinstall Growl. All this to just get the Growl Menu item in my log in items. I don't think I should bother as long as Growl 1.1.1 is working properly.

Ah, ya, that makes more sense. I figured we were just troubleshooting a single machine until it worked.
So everything is up at 1.1.1 now?
All Macs And Drives have 1.1.1

Yes all have 1.1.1 and all have the preference file in/. There are none in~.I think that in future updates I won't have any problems. Thanks again.
Installer not removing previous prefpane for 0.76

I appear to have the same problem that others are describing. I had been using Growl 0.76 successfully for some time until I checked for updates and discovered 1.1.1. (System: MacBookPro Core 2 Duo, 10.4.10, power user) After installing 1.1.1 (which appeared to perform flawlessly), I noticed the prefpane still said 0.76 . After reading this thread, I confirmed that I have a prefpane in both /Library/PreferencePanes/ and ~/Library/PreferencePanes/. I deleted the one in the ~ folder and all is now well.. - Dave
