[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1816261, member: 396914"] No, I don't think that is logical, Charlie. I have tried just changing users, which leaves running the things that run system wide at boot, and it works on the new account, crashes on mine. And I've tried completely shutting down to change, logging in to the new account (it works) and then shutting completely down and log into my account, it crashes. And Etrecheck, run from my account and his account had differences, but I've been through all of them and it made no difference. The only remaining difference is that on my machine, the external drives are described as "Journaled HFS+" but on the new account Etrecheck they are called "Mac OS Extended." What app would make that change? It's only cosmetic, as the two descriptions are essentially the same thing, but why does Etrecheck on one account say one thing but something different on the other? Etrecheck is installed for ALL users, so it's exactly the same Etrecheck app running. And I have tried Safe Boot, but it crashes the same way on my account and not on the new one in Safe Boot, which, I think, eliminated the system-wide apps that change system settings. Frankly, I'm getting to the "stumped" state... [/QUOTE]
