* Clark: Thanks for the response. First time this morning: I click on 'System Preferences' in the dock. After 30 or 40 bounces without opening, I click on it and hold the click. The 'Force Quit' is lit, so I click on 'Force Quit'. It quits bouncing. Try the same thing again: Click on 'System Preferences' in the dock. One bounce and it opens. Strange stuff! Is there a .plist file somewhere corrupted? Thanks! earle * PS: I just added a new 32GB iPhone 3Gs (birthday gift from my kids!) but this System Preferences behavior pre-dates the iPhone. ________________________ Earle Jones 501 Portola Road #8008 Portola Valley CA 94028 Home: 650-424-4362 Cell: 650-269-0035 earle.jo...@comcast.net -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
