It sounds to me like the permissions on your hard drive have changed somehow. In the Show Info window's "Permissions" pane, what does it say? It should say Owner: system Group: admin Owner: Read & Write Group: Read & Write Everyone: Read Only (these should all be grayed, not changeable in this window) If yours varies (especially in the Group permission, perhaps saying "Read Only"), then you'll probably have to go into Terminal to fix it..... -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
