I've been using that blue circular thing called Gee. The Gmail notifier. It was working fine yesterday. Today when I load it up it does nothing. The blue circle doesnt even show up on the bar at the top of the screen. Any ideas?

The first thing to try is deleting Gee!'s preferences. They might have gotten corrupted somehow, preventing Gee! from running normally. Odds are good that the file(s) you want are in ~/Library/Preferences.

I haven't used Gee! before, so I don't know the exact name of the file(s), but the file(s) you're looking for will have "gee" or "Gee" in their names.

Also it seems my old Gee! blue circle thingie file wont delete. It says file is open. I can assure you its not open anywhere. I've looked up on the bar at the top and its not there. I've tried to over write it with the new one i've just downloaded but still no joy. I've opened up the file contents and even deleted all that was there. I can move it but cant delete it. Any ideas?

Open up Activity Monitor (in Utilities, which is inside Applications), select Gee (if it's there), then click Quit Process. That should make it not in use anymore.
