[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 124193, member: 3850"] I'd try trashing the .plist file associated with iChat. Just do a search for .plist or .pref files and delete any associated with iChat. Then restart iChat and it should recreate those files. As for your movie file - what exactly happens when you hit delete? It might be an ownership issue, in which case get info on the file (apple+i) and then make sure your account is listed as the owner of the file. If you can move it to the trash, but can't delete it from the trash once it's there, do a 'secure empty trash'. (Finder Menu -> Secure empty trash). That usually gets 'em. Also try repairing permissions: Apps->Utilities->Disk Utility-> (select drive) -> hit 'repair disk permissions' [/QUOTE]
