Typing that in did as you said and allowed me to finally clear the trash. However........ I kept getting other minor problems showing up in dialogs like : " System Preferences has unexpectedly quit" while changing the resolution, using SP's displays option. Each time I would click on the icon, the system would immediately stop and the dialog would come up. Still don't know what was wrong, but......... I chose to just wipe the Drive (60 GB Maxtor) and start all over. I used my 10.03 CD to begin by initializing and partitioning the drive for the first one to be 8 GB ( Rev. A req.). Updated to 10.04 . Used my 10.1 cd to get to where I could go get installer update and all the way on up to 10.1.4 updates online. Boy, noy we are really looking good no errors, everything's runing good , humming right along. Then ...... I went and ( I know, if it is running good leave it alone. ) downloaded Screensaversosx.dmg 3.o from the Apple site. Installed the and as soon as I selected the first saver in System Prefs (SP's), to view what it looked like, I decided to check out another. When I clicked on the second on and this dialog popped up : " System Preferences has unexpectedly quit" I don't know about the kernal , but this general sure panicked. I went to my User's ScreenSavers (SS) folder and deleted the SS's . Still dropped out when choosing SS from SP. Went to Preferences folder and deleted SS prefs. No change. Except now as well as dropping out of SP, whenever It should be showing a SS on the DT, the entire DT blinks on and off. Do I need to start all over again ? Or .... Is there another way to fix this problem ? Andy3 -- -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
