[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 525908, member: 38864"] I don't have any special desktop software installed. I did some googling the other day and while my problem doesn't seem to be unique, I didn't find extensive complaints about it either. I'm now thinking the prob could be with Speed Download. I don't recall expressly re-installing it after installing 10.5... it was merely copied over along with user data from my 10.4 disk... so I think I'll try wiping that off and starting from scratch. I'll try that and do more extensive troubleshooting tonight and see if that solves the problem, or if I can narrow down the situations this occurs with. Either way, I suspect I'll start using Stacks and the Downloads folder idea since I generally prefer to have a clean desktop anyway and that will be a very convenient compromise. :D [/QUOTE]
