Hello again. Here is my second problem... My ai powerbook won't turn off though the normal methods anymore. This started a couple of days ago. When ever I push the power button or choose shut down from the finder whatever applications I have going close but the computer stays on and nothing I can do will turn it off accept pushing the apple option ctrl shift and power buttons. On the day that this started happening I did two things that were maybe a cause 1) I deactivated some fonts using Extensis Suitcase 2) downloaded and used SolarSeek. I don't know if any of the above are relevant but I just thought I would mention them just in case. I have both verified and fixed disk permissions. I did this yesterday but it didn't help. If anyone has any clues why this is happening and how to fix it please let me know. Thanks in advance! Alan
