Try to create a guess account and try the above applications when logged in that account. If the problem persists, then we can only assume that this "PureData" application did change something to the system and you might have to re-install from scratch to get rid of the problem. However, if the applications launch fine, then there is something wrong with your account. You could try to rename the "Library" folder in your account, log out, then log in. See if the applications launch fine or not. If they now launch fine, something is wrong in your Library folder. You can remove the newly created Library folder, rename the original one and, again, log out and log back in. Then, try renaming the folders inside your Library folder until you find the culprit... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] gib /jib/: 1. vi.
