[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1895311, member: 56379"] Ok sorry...I thought you had access to things...just that the computer was really slow. Try booting into the Recovery Partition (reboot/restart the computer...then press & hold the 2-key combo of [B]command + r[/B] keys). If this is successful...see if you can get the disk usage info (GB's used & GB's free)...might also try running "Disk Utility"...and run "Repair Disk"...after booting into the Recovery Partition. If the disk happens to be really super full...this could be causing issues. If not super full...we can keep trying things. It is very possible the hard drive has failed (or is failing). If this is the case...no need to purchase a whole new computer (if the computer was/is currently meeting all needs otherwise)...just need to replace the HD.:) Nick [/QUOTE]
