I know that Mac OS X keeps a lot of settings into cache files. Maybe one became corrupted? I had a problem a few months ago where selecting a buddy or the buddy list menu item from the iChat menu wouldn't launch the iChat application anymore. I found someone with a similar problem and the cure was to delete one of the system cache used by OS X. There is a freeware that can delete those caches for you. I think the name is 'Cache Cleaner'. It's free and I used it a few times without any problem. If you haven't done any cleaning in a little while, give it a shot, but make sure you take note of the available space on your hard disk before. You'll be amazed by the space you will likely recover (close to 1 GB for me the first time I used it)! -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] farming n.: [Adelaide University, Australia] What the heads of a disk drive are said to do when they plow little furrows in the magnetic media.
