Keychain Not Found

I recently deleted as many of my passwords and keychains as I could because I thought I would be giving away my computer. Now I'm keeping the computer, and as I use Safari I keep getting a message box that says:

Keychain Not Found

Keychain "login" cannot be found to store "Safari"

It then offers the choice of canceling or reset to defaults. I've tried both options repeatedly, but I keep getting the same pop-up box, fairly frequently.

How can I solve this problem?

Sincerely,
Otis

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
