[QUOTE="Moss, post: 1198147, member: 193069"] Try deleting your plist files that relate to iChat. This will make iChat start up as if it were running for the first time. You will be prompted for all of you screen name information again, but it should solve the problem. Or at least, I hope it does! First off, quit iChat. Go to User/Library/Preferences and find and delete (move to the trash) everything starting with com.apple.ichat [url=https://skitch.com/jamesmal/rutxf/screen-shot-2011-03-07-at-4.30.19-pm][img]https://img.skitch.com/20110308-ctamk6dqbp5db3kahdyumy615i.preview.jpg[/img] [/url][url=https://skitch.com/jamesmal/rutxf/screen-shot-2011-03-07-at-4.30.19-pm]Click for large view[/url] - [color=#A7A7A7]Uploaded with [url=http://skitch.com]Skitch[/url][/color] You might have different files in there than I have. Once those files are in the trash, start up iChat. Like I said, you'll need to enter your information all over (as this essentially "restarts" iChat as if it were never opened before) Let us know if this works! [/QUOTE]
