Meg,

In my opinion, the problem is simple: your HD is dieing.
A few months ago a client of mine started to have slow logins and the computer (same model) would take ages till it start up. The machine went to Apple because of the warranty and got a new HD.

Help!!!!!!!

Two days ago, my 12 inch PB suddenly slowed to a crawl. I ran disk first
aid. I did an archive and install and updated everything. It's a little
better. It only takes 20-30 minutes to get to the log on screen after a
restart as opposed to an hour. Lots of spinning beach balls. If I have
Activity Monitor running, I see that lots of things keep showing up as Hung,
especially WindowServer.


It seemed to run fine from the install disk so I don't think it's hardware.
I haven't run the hardware disk yet, will do that tonight.


I know I haven't given all the information probably required to diagnose. If
there's anyone out there who has any ideas, tell me what info is needed
