I have a condition in my S900 that has been happening for maybe a year, off and on. And today I tried to make it stop with no luck as yet.
I have noticed in the past that some time during a session on the computer, OS9.1, that the cursor arrow starts changing between the "clock" symbol and then back to the "arrow" symbol at a rate maybe a little faster than once per second. Other than being a distraction, while this is happening the computer refuses to restart or quit. And informs me that some application refuses to quit and I should select the remaining app's and choose quit from the file menu. At this time the finder is all that is showing as being running. A forced restart ( cntrl-cmd-start key) will always work to restart and then an immediate Shutdown will work. The other hard drive does not show the problem when I boot from it. That is my fixit and archive drive. And never gets downloads. Or access to the internet from it. I tried looking for some process that is running with no success. Then I noticed that if I forced a restart and touched nothing the cursor would start to flip from arrow to clock 3 minutes and 33 seconds after the the Menu Bar Clock appeared until the system was fully Up ( Hard drive blinker out). Does any one have a clue. Have I caught a virus? I have run TTP3.06 full suite including Virus check. Is there any utility that will show all running processes including invisibles?
