Hi, first off all thanks to Peter and John, I think the problem could be as you said in the start up items.
I had a look and have 33K alias' for: IE, Iomega Driver, MSN Messenger and OE along with, this could be it, a Kodak Precision Startup that is listed as an application program, 65K. Now I am not too sure what this is for. I think, big guess here, it may have been installed automatically when I ran then installer for the Epson 1650 scanner. As this is about the same time period I have been getting the dialog box for. I was thinking of taking it out of the startup items folder then starting up to see if the dialog box opens up again, bit am a little concerned that I might stuff something up. But if this works where then would this application program go and would I need to put an alias for it back in the startup items folder? I have tried "get info" but there is not really much there. Thanks Matt
