Over 5 Gig available on that drive, (about 1.3 Gig on the second OS drive) but contiguous? According to Norton (I don't know how accurate their visual graphics of defragging are) The OS has lots of apps between it and the empty space due to the Speed Disk optimizer function. I'll do a test and move all but the System Folder to another drive and see what happens after another optimization with the OS only on the drive. Will post the results. > > > Also try using the software without VM turned on. Unless the USB > cam is doing something very strange, it shouldn't really need VM > turned on. Tried that because I had the same thought. Must be very strange. It is a WeeCam, given away by Earthlink to new subscribers a year or so ago, complete with Mac and PC software. The Mac software requires OS 9.1, (got that) QT 3.x or better (using 6.0.2 Pro) and OT/AppleTalk 2.x. (using 2.7.6) Works on another of my Macs with no problem with VM on, but not with VM off. Wanted to make sure it actually worked! That Mac has the same setup (minus some of the third party extensions as earlier tested and found not to have any effect on the results.) as the one that won't play nice with VM. I may end up copying that one's OS via my network to replace the current one. David Allen -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
