If you start Mathematica with the Shift key held down it will reset all the Options in the Preferences to their default values and this might be worth trying. --------------------------------------------------------------- > As a follow up on this issue: > I reinstalled Mathematica 4.1 for Mac OS X and found that I still have > this problem.
