Anyone have any insight as to the possible reasons for slow screen redraws on my PB 5300cs? When I say slow, I mean anywhere from several seconds of a blank window before it updates, to it staying that way as long as I want.
I noticed it first with Eudora (v3.1.3); after reading and closing a message the Inbox window would be blank - not showing any of the messages, although the window outline and the title bar were ok. I could leave it this way for hours, and have left it this way for several minutes with no change. The cursor remained as a large cross, not an arrow like it should be. You could select and highlight and even read the message, but you couldn't see it in the Inbox window. When I go down to the slider, though, and click, the window instantly (well, for a 5300 anyway) redraws. Now it seems to be happening to most all the applications, although Finder windows have not been affected (yet). The one thing in common is that the cursor stays at whatever it was, either a text entry I-beam or a hand or whatever - everything except an arrow. I don't recall having installed any new applications or extensions, but ... As always, any help appreciated. Regards, Bob Eye Dallas, TX -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
