I think you can logon with shift key down, but that will only prevent startup items to launch. Another thing you could do is to create a "dummy" account, just for the purpose of troubleshooting. After you created that account, login and see if Help Viewer is still crashing. It hasn't crashed a single time for me on my Pismo since I had a pre-release version of Panther installed, so there must something with your account. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Evil Empire n.: [from Ronald Reagan's famous characterization of the communist Soviet Union] Formerly IBM,now Microsoft.
