I was suggesting the other user login as a quick way to see if it was some kind of combination of app prefs or app support files that have gone awry, more than the plugin standpoint, since Alex said he cleared out his plugins.
To go further on your point, it's handiest to just have a spare partition with a clean install, if you are into installing plugins/patches, etc. That said, this sounds like an Apple prob, and I've had way more problems with SL patches than I've had with any 3rd party plugins. -GT On Tue, Aug 3, 2010 at 4:02 AM, Alastair Leith <[email protected]>wrote: > Lastly, maybe try creating a new user, if you don't have an alternate, log > in, and see if it does this under the other user.
