I recommend DiskWarrior highly. I run it at least once every week or two. Run All Tasks in MacJanitor at least once or twice a week if you do not leave your computer on over-night. I strongly receommend Cocktail or something similar like Tinker Tool System, they are not expensive. It is NOT the same as MacJanitor. When you get one then delete all caches and reboot system. Something else you can do with no harm is delete all DS files. To zap the pram, shut down computer. Wait a minute. Start up while holding down Command/Apple key-Option-P-R. Wait for start-up gong to sound 4 or 5 times. Then release keys. Computer then starts up. A few setting may have returned to their defaults, such as window settings etc. Just reset them as you notice them. I suggest you get a good basic OS X book, preferably keyed to your OS X version, for example Panther book or Jaguar book etc. -- ---- QuicKeys is my new favorite way to control my Mac! <http://www.webcontactpro.net/app/aftrack.asp?afid=5113> ---------------- Greg Martinez gregmartinez at mac.com iMac 17" G4, 1GHz, OS 10.3.5, 768 MB RAM. iBook 12" G4, 800MHz, OS 10.3.5, 640 MB RAM. ----------------- On Oct 24, 2004, at 12:42 PM, Robert Crawford wrote: > > On Oct 24, 2004, at 9:30 AM, Gregory Martinez wrote: > >> Do you have a good utility such as DiskWarrior?
