OS 10.3.3 is giving me several little problems:

Login Pictures Reseting to default after shutdown and restart.

iDisk setting resetting to "Automatic" after shutdown and restart

Printer Sharing occasionally becoming de-selected after shutdown and restart

Safari:

Cannot save an embeded quicktime movie (QT Pro is installed) - after selecting "Save as..." from the contextual menu, every menu becomes dimmed and no further progress is allowed.

Control Clicking on an image shows a menu missing items replaced by, "localized string not found"

Safari will not go to sites with passwords that drop down. After which, it will not load any other sites without a shutdown.

None of these things are huge, but they certainly demonstrate a problem somewhere. I would like to fix it to prevent any possibly greater dilemas.

Any ideas?

I've tried trashing everything Safari and re-installing it... No luck.

I have recently done an Archive and Install of 10.3, about 3 months ago to fix some other problems.

For safari have you tried the reset Safari option under the safari menu option?

Try repairing permissions and Running DiskWarrior.

I just tried "Reset Safari", permisssions and Disk Warrior - Safari still misbehaves with passworded sites.
