I bought my wife an iMac in 2006. Convinced her that the sleek all-in-one would
just fit nice. She's not a power user so its still enough for her needs but now
it has started to have vertical lines stuck on the screen. It's currently at
five lines.
I gather this is not uncommon. It's well out

You need to erase and format the HDD to detect bad blocks. and Archive
and Install defeats the purpose.
Your HDD is either bad, or you've got bad sectors.
My G3 imac started throwing the same problem a few months ago.

Final Vinyl is a free download from GriffinTechnology.com. It works
well aside from a tendency to quit unexpectedly, so save the entire
raw file as soon as it displays, and save individual tracks as soon as
you mark one, and don't do much multitasking while using it.

Right-click (or control-click) on one of the icons in question, and
select 'get info'. There is a section in there that says 'Open With'

Thanks for your response, Christian. I wonder what brought about the
decrease in boot time. And the reason why is I know...or think I know..
I agree on the fact that Windows does have issues with it's registry
(poor idea from the start, but once you start something that gains
populrity, it's hard to change it without unwanted results)
The boot time was affected because of 3 factors:
1: severe fragmentation.
2: bad sectors
3: corrupted

Kim, it might be helpful to provide a little more info on what model eMac you
