Hi Lloyd, Did you receive this message the first time you booted up after "Initially" installing Snow Leopard? Some of the older macs received this message, newer ones didn't.
If you receive it again on boot-up click the browse button and locate the "System Events.app" in /System/Library/CoreServices/ folder. Once it is pointed to the System Events application you could possibly notice then Spotlight indexing your whole Drive. If it does, let it complete indexing. You might not have allowed Spotlight to complete this initial indexing when you first installed Snow Leopard. System Events is an application which looks after, guess what, ... system events ... Snow Leopard should be running fast. Cheers, Ronni On 05/12/2009, at 10:06 AM, Lloyd White wrote: > > Thanks Ronni, > > Now I know where it is I can find it if requested next time.
