You could try starting up in Safe Mode and then restart normally. Rebooting your Mac in Safe Mode can sometimes get things working well-enough that a second normal reboot then works normally. Hold down the Shift key at startup to boot in Safe Mode. 1. Be sure the computer is shut down. 2. Press the power button. 3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key. Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before. 4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear). During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see Safe Boot on the Mac OS X startup screen. During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see Safe Boot on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. Then restart normally. If the problem persists post back to WAMUG Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.7.2 Lion Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug
