[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 379709, member: 3889"] You could check your list of log-in items in the Accounts system preferences to see whether the machine is loading a pile of heavy apps each time it starts. Other than that, and if you run all MainMenu's Cleaning and Other Tasks, along with the daily, weekly and monthly crons, you shouldn't be having a problem. Under MainMenu's Rebuild, run Redo Prebindings. If you have never run Disk Utility, you could restart the computer while holding down the Command and "s" keys, and when the type stops flowing and at the cursor's location at the bottom, type in fsck -fy (include the space), hit return and see what happens. This is the same as running Disk Utility's verify and repair program from the DVD. No damage could result by running it. If, when it finishes, it says the disk was modified but says it's OK now, run it as many times as it takes before "disk was modified" doesn't appear. After it's finished, type reboot and hit return. The machine will start normally. [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38350http%20here"][B]This thread[/B][/URL] is one of many that discusses defragging. The Mac does it on the fly, so you shouldn't have to bother, but that thread and the links within it to other threads should give you more information. [/QUOTE]
