i've done all the routine troubleshooting, including diskworrier. unless i can locate some private var plist, and/or the colorpicker itself i'm going to have to reinstall. i have a working picker on my laptop to copy from. i wasn't aware how often i use the thing within other apps until it went south. the only recent install was security update, which shouldn't have bothered the colorpicker but who knows. i'm backed up and ready to go :) best...jf
