[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 124432, member: 3850"] One down, two to go then eh? Try on of these: a) Search for your receipts folder, and move any ichat-related .pkg files you find in there to the trash (temporarily!). Log out, and back in and then try running software updater again. The receipt file basically lets your system know what (apple) apps you have installed and what versions they are. If you delete the receipt, you should be able to trick the system into getting the full version again off the server. If that doesn't work try b): Go to versiontracker.com and get [URL=http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743]Pacifist[/URL]. Install it and then insert your (panther) system disk that came with your mac. Select 'Open OS X packages' in Pacifist and wait for it to load the packages. In the search box enter iChat and try to find the ichat.app in the search results on the right. Drag that to your apps folder and see if it'll start. Hope this works! [/QUOTE]
