[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 541659"] Booting into Safe Boot mode clears some junk from the system. Resetting the PRAM clears [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238"][B]some data[/B][/URL] contained in the PRAM, sometimes it'll fix quirky behaviour. One last thing I can think of that you might could try, download MainMenu (correct spelling) from Santa Software, install it and launch it: it appears in the menubar as a little cross thingy in a rectangle. In the Cleaning section, select clean [I]User Cache[/I] after it's done select [I]Deep Clean System Cache[/I]. Restart. If that doesn't fix it, I have no other ideas here other than, as a last ditch effort, you could make a Spotlight search for one of those files - if you remember one of the file names you lost - with a [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=538721&postcount=8"][B]search criteria of invisibility[/B][/URL]. Looks like the installation of that screen saver either deleted, moved or made invisible some files which makes no sense at all. BTW which screensaver is it so everybody can avoid it like the plague?
