Like other's, scratching at straws. To me it first sounded like you must have been opening LC by double clicking a stack, this then opens the App associated with it. If LC was bad, and in a non-standard location you are not familiar with, then installing a new copy of LC into a standard location would not have solved the problem, double clicking the file would still point to the bad LC. But, and it sounds like you are, if you just double click on the new install of LC to open it, then it's the new LC that is open. So the only other thing you might want to look into is: Bad Account: 1) Select Restart from the Apple Menu 2) Login to Bad Account 3) Start Activity Monitor 4) Ensure 'All Processes' is selected in the Option Button 5) Click on the Name column to ensure the output is in alphabetical order 6) Print the output 7) Start LC 8) Go back to Activity Monitor and Print the output. Now repeat the process in the Good Account - ensure you restart the computer. Compare the outputs. Theoretically the Befores should be the same and the Afters should just have one extra line - 'LiveCode'. Unfortunately I don't think you'll find much. Unless the Bad User account was misbehaving with non-LC apps it doesn't sound like anything outside of LC is causing this. If it is a plugin, a front or back script, then Activity Monitor isn't going to high-light it as it will all just fall under the single 'LiveCode' process. If you set up Activity Monitor so that 'My Processes' is selected in the option button, and you high-light the CPU column and select the CPU tab so the graph shows CPU usage, then you will probably see in the Bad Account, when you go through your previously mentioned steps and the Editor doesn't show, the CPU activity for LC might spike and stay high, which wont occur in your Good Account when LC does what it's suppose to. Unfortunately this doesn't tell you anything you don't already know; what is actually getting in the way. Maybe you could change your desktop picture to pretty flowers to match the walls; just to ease the pain ;-) _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
