Thanks Satcomer, I'll give it a whirl.

This is really getting on my nerves! I have tried deleting cache, repairing permissions etc, even installing a new OS on my old G4 running Panther. Does anyone know what causes this slowdown? Is it hardware related? I have also experienced the same problem on G5 Macs, 5 years old...

thanks for your repsonses, guys I'll give the noobproof a go. My initial problems were caused by Suitcase Fusion which persisted with attempting to make connections thru the network despite having permissions set up to do so. The team at Extensis have acknowledged this is a problem with...

Hi all I posted this question on the apple forum but got no response, I hope someone here can offer some help! I have a problem with 10.5.2 where i can't log in using my Active Directory domain name and password. I can set up my domain, and bind to it, in Directory Access. I can also...
