[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1615616"] AH, that's called the "Beachball" or the SBOD, the "Spinning beachball of death." It means the system is busy. Normally, it's caused by some runaway application hogging the machine, or the system waiting for some application to respond. By being OK for another Admin user you've eliminated the hardware as a potential culprit, so it HAS to be something in YOUR account. Have you installed any "helper" applications to "improve" Finder, or desktop or anti-virus, or clean up or anything at all like that? [/QUOTE]
