Thanks Mary for the sugguestion, however it would not work. I ran it twice and it crashed my laptop twice. The first time it crashed was after an hour and a half and after looking at 8,000 files out of 22,000 files.
The next day when I ran it again, it crashed after looking at 500 files. I have Jaguar on order and hopefully that will solve my problem. I did not expect this to work, but it was worth a try. My laptop is not just running slowing but really really slowly. It takes over ten minutes to open an application. Wish I knew what is wrong. Oh well.
