I have just upgraded to 2006 Beta 1 and the problem is still here!!!

What is causing this?

I guess I will have to format the root and re-install then?

That could be because the configuration files are stored in the home folder of the account.

You can try as root(copying or deleting through konqueror), if you dont get that error(which would be likely) you can try deleting the folder where your konqueror configuration files are stored(They should be restored the next time you start konqueror).

~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/

where ~ is the home folder, '/home/user'

Ok, I launched konqueror as root, and as you said, it gave no errors.

So as root I removed the folder ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/ and rebooted.

Upon reboot, when I launched konqueror I was greeted with the same error again. I have taken a SS of it, here; hxxp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/English_Man/snapshot4.png

Any other ideas?

Just want to make sure, did you remove root's konqueror folder or the user's??
you can remove it(the user's konqueror folder) with regular user's permission.

Yeah, I removed the user's folder, I use root, because I cannot delete with user permissions, and I didn't think of doing it with rmdir.

I also tried using Krusader file browser instead, and it gives the same error.

So I don't know what is causing it!

The error is definitely with the user account, I tried some googling but to no avail, maybe you could create a new user??

hmm, I didnt think of that, I will try that.

Thanks for your help!
