I guess it wasn't clear to me that one must "hold down the CMD + OPT keys" BEFORE one selects the Apple Menu, and continue to hold the keys down until the Memory Control Panel is selected. So, having discovered that, it becomes clear to me that my previous posts would make no sense at all to you. In reviewing the thread I find the following from John Baltutis <baltwo at san.rr.com>: >IIRC, hold down option key and select Apple->Control Panels->Memory will >open the memeory CP with the option to uncheck do memory check. Do that, >restart, and the startup should bypass the memory check. I somehow missed this subtle difference in process before. Apologies for any confusion caused. PYX
