[QUOTE="GLJones, post: 32709, member: 3220"] OK....Nothing in the activity monitor was out of line but the processor usage indicated the system was using 90%+ of the resources. The Finder was at about 6%. I force restarted the Finder and everything cleared up. It seemed I had found the culprit, Finder. This afternoon, the system slowed down and I tried the same thing with no effect. The initator of this problem is the screen saver. When it runs (any screensaver) for any length of time (1 hr +) the system bogs down. I am about to boot from the Panther Install Disk and see if it can be repaired or reinstall Panther.
