ok you did it right delet all of it and when it asks for a password tell it cancel(or no i think) well any way dont give it a password. then it will ask to let the keychan just this once or cancel and tell it to always allow* tell me if you got more problems. that keychan is good if you know how to use it.lots of protecting.good luck



warcraft 3 is the best
 
woo, when the password thing came up i just pressed cancel and the box changed a little bit but everytime i pressed cancel it just came back, so i entered the password and it worked. i think its gone away now cos i logged out and back in again and it didnt happen.
thanks matey

gah, its doing it again, plus it asked for keychain access when i opened mail. grrrr, whats the deal with this?

Shot in the dark but try running cron jobs and repairing permissions.

To run cron jobs, download a copy of MacJanitor. To repair permissions, launch Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
