[QUOTE="kcsummer, post: 1482181, member: 203488"] Thanks - I would not have done something as drastic as wiping out my entire drive as a first step. I have been visiting several forums trying to figure this out for several months, at least two. I did not have much luck - I was trying to acquaint myself with Terminal but failed out of the starting gate as there was something wrong with my prompt because it was always something along the lines of "not valid or not found". i had contemplated getting an external hard drive but I was going over my own personal financial cliff and had to make some hard choices. Anyway - I did see one suggestion that erasing PRAM might help. I doubt it because i have done so before (several months ago). But anything is worth a try [/QUOTE]
