Calling all Mac Folks!

[steforama]

My mom just called and asked me to ponder an issue she's having with her iBook. It seems as though she can't open Mail or her Address Book or get to the Dashboard - when she clicks on the icon, nothing happens. She is able to open other things and can get online - and yes, she has restarted.

Any thoughts? If all else fails, she might come here this weekend and I can take a look at it.

Yeah, it's really weird because my mom is not one to fiddle around with things (she wouldn't be deleting system files willy-nilly or whatever). She's pretty sure that the other night, she turned the laptop off and then a few minutes later, turned it back on because she remembered she needed to look some things up and when it booted up, this issue started.

Ah, archive and install. I know of the option, but I've never used it - sounds like it will be the best option here.
