Re: 12 inch seems crippled
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. -João L. On 10/fev/2004, at 15:35, Meg St. Clair wrote: Help!!! Two days ago, my 12 inch PB suddenly slowed to a crawl.

12 inch seems crippled

Meg, Did you install any software or any patches for anything that you recall before this activity started to occur?? Even something that seems harmless may be interacting with something else on your machine and causing problems. Are you running Jaguar or Panther on it?

I don't recall adding anything. I had been a little flaky for a while. If a program hung and I did cmd ctl esc and tried to force quit app, I would get logged out. Should nobody be running multiple iterations of sh? Meg -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I don't recall user 'nobody' running multiple iterations of sh, nor that forcing quitting an app would log you off. Try to create a dummy account and see if it happens there too. If not, then there is something wrong with your own account. If it does, then there is something wrong in your system installation. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Washington, DC, USA Usual disclaimers apply *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
