I know that one of the first process to run before you get to the blue screen is fschk, or 'file system check'. Have you had your hard disk checked by a disk utility recently? If the disk is going bad, everytime you restart, fschk might have to repair damages on it, thus increasing the time to boot... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
