Guess what, I have the same permission settings...'drwx------'. But on the working Jaguar machine Application Support is 'drwxr-xr-x'. So, is that the cause? If it is then 1) The repair permissions didn't spot it 2) It's happening for new users added via the accounts systems preference 3) What's the best fix? Just 'chmod' the folder? My Unix skills are limited, so somebody had better hold my hand :-) Or go for the reinstall as recommended? Neil
