[QUOTE="bryanisfishing, post: 637128, member: 28583"] Just two questions : did you install a third-party screensaver recently ? [COLOR="DarkRed"][B]NO[/B][/COLOR] Have you updated to 10.5.2 or are you still at 10.5.0 or 10.5.1 ? [COLOR="DarkRed"][B]10.5[/B][/COLOR] Try repairing disk permissions by running Disk Utility. Leopard seems to have problems with messed up disk permissions. Go to : Macintosh HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility Launch the app, select your hard drive icon on the left sidebar, click on Repair Disk Permissions. Restart. If that doesn't solve it, you might want to put in the trash the System Preferences pref file. Path is this : Macintosh HD -> Users -> your user account -> Library -> Preferences -> com.apple.systempreferences.plist Drag that file to the trash (don't empty the trash just yet) and restart. See if that fixes it. Report back and let us know how it goes. [COLOR="DarkRed"][B](will do, i will definitely let you guys now)[/B][/COLOR] thanks so much for the help. [/QUOTE]
