Running what OS? Start with a PRAM reset. Then run First Aid on your start-up drive.
so, Gaston, I got the private mail you sent to me, telling me that you are using 10.2.8, etc. I tried to reply to you, but your ISP bounced my email to you back to me, with a nice little auto-generated note informing me that my email was rejected because your ISP, in its (dubious) wisdom had determined that it was spam.
So, if you want to proceed with this thread, we'd better do it on-list. And yes, PRAM reset in X is the same procedure as pre-X.
