[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 174132, member: 2960"] That sounds more like a RAM issue and perhaps a caching issue...not anything wrong with a directory. You would want to be running with at least 512 MB of RAM for Tiger, and even then that can seem sluggish for some things. Slimming down startup items, clearing caches, trashing prefs and then running a permissions repair would have likely improved your perfomance...without dropping any money. You could also run a utility like Cocktail or Onyx to get pretty much the same thing. And Disk Warrior is a good option as well, and just like MacsWork said, that is probably all that was done to your system. That or they did an archive and install of the OS. And if that is all they ended up doing, then you really did get hosed for a couple hundred bucks. [/QUOTE]
