My wife has an iMac 1GHz PowerPC G4 256 MB DDR SDRAM Running OS 10.4.3 This has been running well until New Years Eve we were invaded by Teenagers,one of which simply wanted to "lookup her email". :-( On New Years Day the iMac seem to be running rather slowly so I thought I would run 'Disk Warrior' 3.0.3. All goes well until one gets to stage 5 'Locating directory data' ,rebuilding directory and the indicator bar is about 55% across the screen and then it stops and nothing more happens. The disk can be heard going and the scroll bar 'shakes' but does not progress. It then complains that it is going slowly because of shortage of Ram (!) and it can be left for hours and nothing more happens.

I have repaired permissions and done fsck -fy and prayed to Allah but no Joy.

The iMac seems to perform OK and is maybe a little quicker since I have 'doctored it' but I do not like the fact that I cannot run Disk Warrior.

Disk Warrior runs normally on my iBook.

Anyone any suggestions please
