[QUOTE="technologist, post: 103853, member: 4134"] Also check /System/Library/StartupItems/ (That's Macintosh HD:System:Library:StartupItems: for the old-timers among us.) There's usually a lot of things in there, most of them very important. If you're feeling adventurous, you could open the Terminal and type [CODE]SystemStarter -n -D > StartupOutput.text[/CODE] (return) wait for it to finish, and then type [CODE]open StartupOutput.text[/CODE] (return) And see what comes up. (This will leave a StartupOutput.text file in your home folder, which you can Trash when you're done.) Reference [url]http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/osx/arch_startup.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
