List, Thanks for all the insight I've received from subscribing. I�ve been stumped with the following problem that started about 5 months ago and appears to be getting worse. I have a G3 beige tower; 300Mhz, 640 RAM, OS 8.6, original 8G HD with a QPS FireWire card and a Macsense USB card.
The problem is that when I turn on the power, it takes over 30 seconds for the Happy Mac screen to appear. It also takes the same amount of time when I do a restart. I have all the Apple Share control panels turned off, read various books and checked out every possible item I could find on the web. While I�m waiting for the Happy Mac, I hear a faint �tic� about every 5 to 10 seconds. I�m beginning to think my HD might be getting ready to bite the dust... Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks in advance. Van Matthews __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
