[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1641962, member: 76746"] Now It's Getting Scary! At first, I thought only Adobe Flash, Safari and Stickies had problems. Now I find that several other programs are wonky as well. An example is iCal. If an appointment is entered while logged in as either of the two non-administrator users, the appointment is not saved. If, for instance, the view of the calendar is changed, it is not saved upon exit. (Administrator account works fine) Some, but not all, other programs have similar glitches, mostly with saving preference changes.. (But, administrator account still works fine) And, some programs seem to work properly. I haven't checked them all. Except for Adobe Flash, all of the problem children are programs that came with OS X. But that computer only has a few 'aftermarket' programs on it. Word and Excel work great. Virtual Box and the Windows programs inside its virtual machine are also A-OK. A bunch of permission repairs via Disk Utility and Onxy didn't solve the problem. I also used Onxy''s Clean Up tab to do much cleaning and used its function to force the maintenance scripts. Ditching plists also was of no help on this particular problem. It is possible that some sort of system wide ownership thing got changed somehow, making it so only the administrator owns these items? Is there, by some luck, a way to correct ownership on a wide basis? I tried searching and found lots of "Do This" and "Don't Do This" articles, so I chickened out. [/QUOTE]
