[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 967245, member: 112842"] [U]Uninstall Safari[/U] Find your Applications folder. Drag the Safari icon to the Trash (or hit the delete button in the toolbar). [U]plist files[/U] are found in Users/[I]YourUserName[/I]/Library/Preferences. First, Quit Safari, then go to that folder ^ You're looking for [B]com.apple.safari.plist[/B] Move it to your Desktop. Do not delete it! (yet) Fire up Safari. This will create a new plist file where you just removed the original one from. It will change all preference settings to their defaults. If your problem is gone, Trash the file you placed on the Desktop. You might have to adjust Safari > Preferences to your "taste". If the problem persists, it's up to you whether you want to put that plist file back where it came from. If you do, this will (of course) overwrite the newly created default plist file. [U]try another account[/U] System Preferences > [B]System[/B] > Accounts Click the lock, enter your admin password Select another account. Create one by clicking the + button if necessary. (I think.) [B]Read the Accounts section of Mac Help. There's lots of info there.[/B] If the problem disappears while logged into the other/new account, come back for more advice, or trust your Mac Help comprehension. \ :) [/QUOTE]
