Sep 19, 2012 6:29 PM in response to sanjampetby imcarmel,Thanks. I had already restored the desktop from the System Preferences, but reset the PRAM anyway... it didn't solve the other problem I am having-- I am trying to add someone to a Yahoo-group and get this error:
Sorry, Unable to process request at this time -- error 999.

Unfortunately we are unable to process your request at this time. This error is usually temporary. Please try again later.
If you continue to experience this error, it may be caused by one of the following:
- You may want to scan your system for spyware and viruses, as they may interfere with your ability to connect to Yahoo!. For detailed information on spyware and virus protection, please visit the Yahoo! Security Center.
- This problem may be due to unusual network activity coming from your Internet Service Provider. We recommend that you report this problem to them.
While this error is usually temporary, if it continues and the above solutions don't resolve your problem, please let us know.
Return to Yahoo!

Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated.
Also see if your model Macbook Pro qualifies - MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues . The affected computers were manufactured between approximately May 2007 and September 2008.
