If you just want to get it back in business as reliably as possible, rebuild it. Format the drive, reinstall the system and reinstall SIMS. You won't know what went wrong, but you will be back up. However, if you want to troubleshoot it, start with the basic mac troubleshooting stuff: first run disk first aid/Norton utilities/Disk Warrior or somesuch. That may solve the problem by itself. Undo anything you've modified recently. turn off anything else running on the computer, especially networking stuff (including things like the system setting to set the clock from the internet). Then start doing things like removing SIMS and assorted Networking prefs files and rebooting. -- Michael Croft http://www.whiterose.org/michael SAM: It's 106 miles to the Crack of Doom.
