[QUOTE="Mikeo1938, post: 1010755, member: 135375"] Thanks to everyone for the help. I went out yesterday leaving ‘repair permissions’ running from the MPB’s own HD. When I got home, it had finished but there was no improvement. This morning, I used Disk Utility from the installation disk, as suggested. The disk came up with the “appears to be OK” message. Then I ran repair permissions again and I was left with these two messages:- “usr/share/derby” has been repaired (But who/what is “derby”?) “SUID file system/library/core SVCS/Remote Management/ARD Agent.app/Contents MacOS/ARD Agents” has been modified and will not be repaired (What is the significance of that?) The MPB seems to have speeded up; this is most noticeable with Word. However, I’ve not yet tried all the applications. So I guess I’d better get Onyx. Or should I go for Disk Warrior? But does the latter also do the routine stuff, or is it just needed for serious trouble? I’d be grateful for comments on the above. Renewed thanks … M [/QUOTE]
