can you open the console? do you get the automatic console opening to be able to see why? to view your log files, which i normally would use terminal for, there's a gui log viewer util for os x. it's called log master. search for it on version tracker. this /may/ let you view your /var/log/system.log file - it will let you view it all you like - the /may/ part is that the system.log file may contain nothing of value in helping you to solve your problem. --alan On Tuesday, March 18, 2003, at 01:46 AM, Riba wrote: > This is so uncool.
