Hi Tim

Before re-installing the OS I would use the disk utility in the  
software install disk (disk that came with your mini) and start up  
with that and repair permissions from that disk it should repair any  
file ownerships and clean it up. try that if that works great if not  
then re-install the OS and start from scratch

Let us know if we have helped...........Dennis
