I don't have it set as a Login Item. It just randomly starts. Its been happening more lately. Any one have any ideas?

It will auto start when you connect a web cam. Maybe you can turn that off in iChat preferences and it will stop.

Obviously your computer wants you to be sociable. 😀

Unless my iSight is turning itself on (which I can't see that it is) I doubt it. I have no other web cams.

Well I erased & reinstalled 10.5. Then downloaded and ran 10.5.2 combo update, then graphics combo update. Then Software Update. We will see if this makes a difference.
