Hey Michael - how's your HD space?

Lots of things I can think of, but just to start...

> My macbook pro (10.4.11 OS) has been problematic all day. I had to shut it

> like I'd lost the prefs, any existence of mail accounts gone ! I've also
> lost the prefs for the interface of Firefox ( new toolbar prev installed,
> removed, but now showing, buttons different to what they should be (no
> dramas there)- looks like default interface for Firefox, bar a seo toolbar
> pllugin mentioned above).

> I've been doing some heavy duty processing in Peak and Logic Express today
> and have loaded an update from skype recently - skype was the program that
> seemed to be stalling the computer, but has been installed for 7 days or
> so. Also the 3 programs that has messed up are on auto start on start up.
>
> The problem is I just set one mail account up and it then proceeded to
> download what was looking like the previous years emails.
>
> The previous shut down was done by last resort push of on off button for 5
> seconds or so before it turns off. Turned it on again and the result was
> the aforementioned.
>
> I've never had anything bad happen like this in 4 years  of having a Mac,
> so have no idea where to start to get my original settings back.
>
> Any help greatly received.
