In this case, the network IS there! I mean, it works just fine after the first five minutes. After doing nothing (and after I've hit button after button, tried to pull-down this menu and that) it all of a sudden opens the window, and jets through all the tasks I'd set it to do since start-up. Could it be taking that long just to connect to the network? (It's a network served by a Windows box, so maybe!) Now, Robert McAllister, you wrote: > I don't recall the minimum required RAM for 9.1, but 68MB doesn't seem > like enough.

But the system is taking up only 19MB, at least, that's what it is taking without any apps running. The nearly identical Mac I'm using in my office takes nearly 30MB up! The VM is set to only 1MB. Should I up that or leave it the same? > Other than that did you try the usual measures such as rebuilding the > desktop, zapping PRAM, and/or pressing the CUDA button.

I'll zap the PRAM (just did that on the LC 575 that's sitting right next to the 7500). And do some more fiddling. But the main problem is only right after start-up; it works fine now.
