First thing to do, which I forgot, is to log in as a different user (create a new user in the System Preferences/ user Accounts pane, reboot and log in as that user. If the problem persists, it’s something to do with system-side settings or hardware. If the problem goes away, it’s something to do with something in the affected user’s settings or other things running. This should be the very first go-to diagnostic, because the decision paths after this initial fork are very different. MOST of the time I’ve seen this particular problem (including when I've experienced it myself) the problem lies with some connected device malfunctioning. You’ll see a long string of USB or Firewire errors in the system log in this case. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
