I am so tired!!! working for 6 hrs...trying to fix Dashboard!!! I have 8 months with this MBP!!! It is beatiful!! But I have spent “DAYS” trying to fix “details” that I had not to fight in WINDOWS!!!

it is frustrating!!!!

This is my problem!!! I have two accounts in my MPB 2.2, 120 GB, Leopard 10.5.3, 2 GB RAM...etc

I CAN NOT INSTALL ANY WIDGET in my dashboard!!!! All they are fully working in my Administrator account!!! But not in my Stardard User.

If I delete a widget already installed few months ago...and then, when I download it again and run the installer...it works!!!! But I can not install a widget that was not installed previously!!!! I can not install “new” widgets!!!

Inclusive, I can not update widgets already installed, i.e. DraeUtil or To Do notes.
When I download the latest update...It doesn´t work!!!! And when I reinstall the former version It works!!!!

I already tried to delete: caches....preferences (.plist) of dashboard, dashboardclient...and the widgets affected!!! But nothing happens!!! I can not install updates nor new widgets!!!

I can download new widgets, ZIP files opens...and the “install box” appears...and the widget is set in “widget” folder. But IT DOESNT APPEAR IN DASHBOARD. When I click on it...nothing happens!!
When I open “manage Dashboard”...there are they!! but when i drag it to the dashboard...Dashboard quits unexpectly!!!

In the Console...there is no message!!! I don´t know what is happening!!!

I tried to open a new Account with administrator privileges, and widgets works!!!

I entered my ROOT user...and change ownership (chown) and groups (chmod) of affected widgets...

Look at this:

Terminal status of each Widget in its folder myuser/Library/Widgets/

bash-3.2# ls -la /Users/drjosias/Library/Widgets
total 16
drwx---r-x 10 drjosias staff 340 Jun 4 17:59 .
drwxr-xr-x@ 53 drjosias staff 1802 Jun 4 17:49 ..
-rw----r--@ 1 drjosias staff 6148 Jun 4 15:23 .DS_Store
drwxr-xr-x 15 drjosias staff 510 Jun 4 18:07 DraeUtil.wdgt
drwx---r-x@ 24 drjosias staff 816 Jun 4 18:07 Midnight.wdgt
drwx---r-x 20 drjosias staff 680 Jun 4 18:07 PEMDAS.wdgt
drwxr-xr-x 26 drjosias staff 884 Jun 4 18:07 ProxyOnOff.wdgt
drwxr-xr-x 17 drjosias staff 578 Jun 4 18:07 To Do.wdgt
drwxr-xr-x 12 drjosias staff 408 Jun 4 18:14 Translator.wdgt
drwxr-xr-x@ 17 drjosias staff 578 Jun 4 18:07 iStat pro.wdgt

I already runned chmod 755 to assign total permissions to the widget folder..!!! But It also doesnt worked!!!

The affected widget is: TRANSLATOR...but this is only one example. Every new widget installed does not work!!!!!

The others widgets previously installed (months ago) are fully working!!! Inclusive, even though I have deleted and reinstalled.

PLEASE....any suggestion??? I need help!! I am tired to fix every bug of Leopard!! again and again!!

Thank you friends!!!

pd. I already repaired permission etc with Onyx 1.9.1...caches...preferences...etc...
