OS?
hangs when I try to run any kind of maintenance program (TTP, Onyx,
Disk utility, etc etc). It just goes blank when I try to switch a
user or shut down and have to restart constantly.
Does Disk Utility hang if you first boot into Safe Mode (shift key held down)?
My question is when I open activity monitor I always see "notifier"
highlighted, "not
responding", and red. What is "Notifier" and could it be my problem
or part of my problem?
Could be. There is the system notification manager, notifyd. But
you say "Notifier" - that name is not part of the OS... and Google
shows me half a dozen products that use that name.
Check your system and console logs for error messages.
Check your user login items list to see if it's there. (System
Preferences, Accounts)
