Had this around for a few days... "(Yep still around just been a tad busy)" Suspect hard drive. Hardware--It could be overheated/ing or suffering other problems (seen similar before) You can also test this drive via SCSI mode. Software--HD directory could be messed up, virtual memory (try RamDoubler 8), improper ram allocation to app, corrupted application Try reinitializing drive, re-install apps and go from there. 48mb ram is still OK on 8.6.
