Greetings ( + )!( + ) You might want to get yourself a copy of "applejack" and run it once in a while. It will do "pre-binding" clean-up your hard disk, runs repair permissions and a lot of other things. You run it for "single use" mode therefore it cleans everything as all that is need for system operation is contained in memory and nothing is needed from the HD. If you run disk clean-up from multi-user mode it can not unmount the disk and complete the necessary functions. You can find "applejack" using dogpile.com On Jul 21, 2006, at 6:44 PM, mgilman wrote: > Things have been been pretty weird since downloading VLC to watch dvds > as told to do so by people on this list.
