Hi,

I decided to delete all my personal keychain entries and now after that for some reason the keychain does not work at all. Whenever I go on a website and want to save my Userinfo it never works. Also Skype never remembers my login detals either. Well all this is because my keychain is empty. Does anybody have an idea of how to approach this problem?

Thanks a lot

I am having a similar problem, but when I try to run Keychainaccess.app it appears for a second on the dock and then disappears. It won't stay open.

I recently just upgraded to 10.4.2 so I can't just run the installer from the OS X.4 install CD/DVD.

Problem solved. Simply had to do and "archive and install" the system again from the OS X install DVD.
