Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately it wasn't the answer. I repaired permissions, booted with space bar, then ran Disk Warrior over jag, to no avail.
The processor seems as though it's busy doing something else, as things are really slow & jerky on a cold boot. Why would a warm boot fix the problem?
I would still appreciate any thoughts on this one please.
Regards
Santa

it sounds like the drive has become corrupted, i've seen this in os 9 and os x, and any time you run classic from os x and a classic program bombs the os 9 part can get corrupted. i'd suggest running whatever disk maintenance tools you have until no errors are reported and trashing the os 9 desktop files (they can become too corrupt to repair, if deleted they are recreated on next boot or starting of classic).

G'day from Oz to all.
I would appreciate any thoughts whatsoever on this problem.
For months now my tricked out G3 DT has been glacially slow on a cold boot startup. Power on to loading progress bar and log in is about double the usual time, and log in to first screen is about 6 times longer. When the screen appears, aliases and stickies take about 4 times longer to show, dropping on the screen at one every couple of seconds. Everything, including the dock, runs very slow.
