Alex, thanks, but you probably got my answer in the meantime. And I did download the fixer they suggested in Macworld. It is called :CacheOut X . Gee, there are so many cashes to clean out, I had no idea about them , and now I dare not do it all before I haven't done any more checking. The utility can be found under : find.macworld.com/0211. It is freeware. Marta On Feb 1, 2005, at 14:14, Alex Whitman wrote:
