Go into your home folder and take the ~/Library/Preferences folder, and put all the files in there into a folder on your desktop called old_prefs. The Finder will lock up when you move them out the first time. Force quit the Finder. Now log out and back in, and you will see your Mac is now back to defaults. (You could skip moving the Finder out as it is most likely not the problem and save the lock up problem.) Test Entourage , if it works, you know its one of the preference files. Start with putting everything back in that starts with "com.apple" and log out/in. Slowly, a few preference files at a time, move the old ones back into place, and log out and back in, then test. Rinse and repeat until you find the bad preference. Another suggestion: User Font Finagler purge your font caches: <http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/> -- Diane Ross, Microsoft Mac MVP Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> The Entourage Blog lists the EHP as one of the top five Microsoft Entourage resources. <http://blogs.msdn.com/entourage/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
