Title says it all. I am the admin and own the computer so Addressbook has my photo and details as the 'me' card but it refuses to accept a change of photo from the original one I set up last year.

I've tried several times. I can double click the photo and it brings up the nephoto to set window - when I drag a new photo there and resize it all looks well but then I click set and .....nothing.

Very annoying as the original photo is a bit quirky and I'm looking much more handsome these days!!

The title also says I don'ttake care of my spelling when I'm rushing!

The Address Book photo is tied into your user photo that you set in System Preferences. Change that and your Address Book photo will change.

Well I tried that and it didn't change the address book photo. What's more yesterday I tried resetting the Addressbook photo again and when clicking set nothing happened (ie it didn't reset in AB) however I saw that it did change my account photo. Strange!
