Ok, I'm running 10.2.6. The last thing I installed was the December 2002 Developers Tools and the update. Upon my next reboot, here's what's going on. Finder will load, my desktop will appear for a few seconds and them Finder reloads...over and over and over again.

I've tried booting into safe mode with no joy. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
James

Um, by 'safe mode' you mean 'single user mode', right?

I'm sure he means safe mode, not single-user mode.

Um...no, I mean SAFE MODE...you know, where you hold down shift and it says SAFE MODE.

But thanks, that was indeed helpful.
