Well let's begin from the beginning. I bought an iMac, worked perfectly for awhile. Then iChat started acting up (I couldn't video chat with my friend who was on a Macbook), and I searched for the answer. Found it. Worked for like a week. Then! It decided (after the 10.5.4 update) to completely fail. I mean, the icon changed to this TextEdit looking thing but with a ruler. There is no iChat anything in my Mac anymore. Besides that icon and the name and a problem report which states:

If you need more of the Problem Report, I saved it. So just ask.

This is my first Mac and I really hope I didn't mess it up beyond repair.
 
Same Thing

I just tried using ichat for the first time on my year old macbook pro with the latest ox installed.

Mine is doing the same thing with the same error report...

any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
