So slow it seems like it has locked up, then it magically allows me access tot he desktop. So here is what happens. I press the power button, OS loads and gets to the desktop then it seems to lock up. I can't any access to the desktop for about five minutes unless I kill finder and let it restart. I have rebuilt the desktop and scanned with Norton Utilities Disk Doctor and Speed Disk. I plugged in only my hard drive with the OS on it, still it locks up. My Mac is relentless. It has ran perfect before it did this. Then all of a sudden, bam! It knocks it up a notch, well more like down... I'm also going to try booting with extensions off, see if it still does it. Here are the specs:
PowerMac 7500 @ Sonnet G3 300MHz 1M 36GB LVD SCSI HD OS 9.2.2 (old World Support aka:OS Helper) Adaptec 2940UW PCI SCSI Adapter 16MB Voodoo 3000 Video 224MB RAM
Thank you very much!

I had this same problem the other day. Do you have a cd in the drive? try taking it out and see if the problem stays. my cdrom drive was going bad and upon boot it would take forever to even read the cd until i replaced it.
