Chris,
Did you solve your problem?
I was checking into a different problem for myself and found some other items
that you may want to look for. They may not relate to a 1400, but someday you
may have a new Mac to use also.
I ran into an Extenstion called DVD AutoLauncher and another item with
Monitor in the name. They run in the background and are not seen by you and
me, but can tie up a port or processor cycles.
I used an app to monitor the processor cycles to find out what was running in
the background about the time of my problem, and v�ola! I caught the dirty
rotten extension in the act. I used PPC LoadWatcher, it is not the best, but
it gets the job done.
Hope you solved the problem earlier, but just in case,
Brent
