Hi Gordon,
Thanks very much for your help with this Dropbox mystery. I repeated
the steps again and this time restarted my computer. I then ran the Dropbox
installer 1.5.8. Sadly it acted the same way. It never asked me if I had a
account or needed to open one. It just did Dropbox has no windows.
Earlier today before getting the tip to restart I had a sighted visitor so
asked him to try. Even when he followed the sighted instructions it got to the
point where it had no info and never asked for my user name and password.
I used this same installer on my new Mac book Pro and the old Mac Book
following the process and it worked fine.
Any tips on what I can try with the Mini is appreciated.
Everything else seems fine on the Mini at the moment. The Mountain Lion update
was done only yesterday.
I actually rely on DropBox so it is difficult not having it working on
this machine.
I'll probably try the 1.4 version again but don't think that will make a
difference.
Again, tips wanted!
Eric Caron
