Thanks Chuck for the input. But I have OS 10.1 CD. I'm trying to avoid re-installing 10.1 and then re-install all the update all the way to 10.5. That's a long and tedious task. When you say you have tried deleted the preference folder without any success, that is exactly what I'm saying. Which preference folder did you delete? There is a Preference folder in the User folder, one the Library folder and one in the System folder. Which one should I delete without doing any damage to the system?
