I want to Thank every one who read and responded to my thread. I learned a few things and i will investigate the Onyx and the applejack. What i forgot to do before i posted to the list was to boot from OSX installer DVD and run Disk Utility. Heh. I did that and it couldn't fix it. So i ran Disk Warrior and that fixed the issue. All the offending apps are behaving now,including Safari, Mail, Widgets, YahooIM, and ichat, and whatever else. There were a couple of overlapping files and some me involved a cache. So, yes, it was a HDD file corruption problem. Thanks goodness for the list and thank goodness for the Disk Warrior!
