Fans, I'm always encouraged by the intricate and extensive knowledge-base of the power computing guru set, and so here's a real stickler to me, maybe not so difficult to solve for some of you.
I've been powering up a Powerbase 180 recently - added a USB card, boosted the RAM to it's internal max of 160Mb using a pair of 128Mb DIMMs (as suggested by one of the PCL readers) and am now looking for a processor upgrade for a good price. Somewhere in there, I noticed the refresh rate for the Desktop graphics has slowed to an unbearable pace. I've reduced the number of icons on the desktop to the CPU, trash and one folder. When the graphics refresh is executed, the CPU icon shows, then the CPU name, then the Trash icon, then the Trash name, etc. Each of these steps takes approx 4 seconds to occur. I feel like I'm in a coma when I'm watching this. I've changed the Extensions settings to "9.1 Base", as well as all of them turned on, with no change. Also, during one of my shutdowns, I apparently did something improperly and the computer, on the next startup, ran Disk First Aid, responding with a dialog that indicated there was some "damage" it could not fix. I then booted off a OS9.1 CD, ran Disk First Aid, and DFA said it found some damage that it could not repair, and the red text indicated "Invalid PEOF, 274088, 2509" Any clues from anyone for either of these problems? I've done all the reading I can and still have no clue. Help!! Are there some websites that give clues to these error messages? Thanks Also looking for suggestions as to the spec for replacing the 1G HD with 10G to 20G unit.
