[QUOTE="alexknibb, post: 656627, member: 50738"] Thanks again! What am I looking for in particular in the Console file? I had a look at that application you suggested, and got the following results for user preferences (system prefs seem fine): Preferential Treatment v1.1.8 by Jonathan Nathan [url]http://www.jonn8.com/[/url] user preference report Saturday, May 17, 2008 15:13:42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flagged Preference File: /Users/alexanderknibb/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist Problem(s): Conversion of data failed. The file is not UTF-8, or in the encoding specified in XML header if XML. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wasn't running anything iphoto-related at the time, so I'm presuming that means everything is OK? Should I do anything to this file? Would you suggest a clean install of OSX? I know a lot of people suggest doing this with a new machine anyway, but I didn't... Is it worth a punt? Thanks again for all your help. :) [/QUOTE]
