[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1088064, member: 131855"] Yrs. This suggests that there is something associated with your user account that is causing this to happen. I don't mean that you have done something wrong just that things have gotten a bit out of whack. I wonder if this is the result of a corrupted preferences file? You might try the following: 1. Go to the folder for your user account and open Library/Preferences 3. Search for a file called com.apple.systempreferences 4. Drag that file to somewhere convenient like the Desktop. Log out of your user account and then log back into it. If this fixes the problem then that file is likely corrupted. The finder has created a new one from scratch so no problem there other than maybe having to reset a few settings. If the problem is fixed you can delete the original file. If it is not fixed then you should be able to return the old preference file to its original location. [/QUOTE]
