Concerning the Starmax hiccups (which, by the way, are still there, only not quite as bad), Ben Smith \(QM Systems\) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> kindly said: >Office often installs a 'horrible' app that indexes the files at >startup (not sure if the Mac version does it, but the PC version has >one called 'Fast Find') this will slow down your startup and (again on >the PC) cause general slowdowns as it periodically re-indexes the hdd, >if this is the case trash or disable the offending extension and all >should be OK. That seems to describe exactly what is going on. Does anyone know if this is true on the Mac version of Office, and, if so, what the offending extension is? That would save me disabling one extension at a time, rebooting, and running for a while to see if that's the one. (I am at my office, and so I can't check right now if "fast find" is also on the Mac.) The only thing that bothers me is that I installed Office 98 on my 8600 at the same time, and there are no hiccups there (OS 9.1 on 8600, 8.6 on Starmax).
