[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 527434, member: 38864"] No, that wasn't clear at all. Actually my bad... I see now that someone had suggested that and you were responding to them. Oopsie. :Oops: Anywho... in all probability there is a problem somewhere in the root library, which also is migrating to the user libraries as they are created. First thing I would do is delete the preference file for the System Preferences from /Library/Preferences and then from the User libraries (put a backup copy first in some other folder). I don't know the exact filename offhand and am at work on a Windoze comp, but see if you can try that and let's see if that works. If not, there's some more radical things to try but those will create a lot of extra work and possible trouble for ya so let's save those for now. Oh yes.... what's your display resolution set to?
