I'd say suspect 1: extensions. Suspect 2: RAM, as already mentioned. I doubt that 8.6 is the culprit, which is what I've been running on mine. But any extension _in combo with another_ may be guilty. RAM: after maxing my office G3 with 576megs it takes now up to two minutes to even _start_ starting up. So I wonder if RAM could be the one. Btw, you do know the old trick for eliminating extensions: disable everything, then load one half. Try and then load the other half. Each time the error appears you half the half that's contains the culprit. ConflictCatcher is a great tool for that. Good luck, tobias.
