Hey Satcomer - thanks for that - it was very handy. I: - Checked the Systems Preferences you mentioned in (1) and all was nominal there. - Downloaded OnyX, ran their 'mandatory' start-up checks and then ran all the checks under the cleaning > system tab. This rebooted my machine, and the...

Hello All, Just yesterday I went to reboot my iMac running OS X 10.5.5. I believe this is the first time I rebooted since the 10.5.5 install process, and I was shocked to see how long the reboot is now taking. In the past this was a 1-2 minute process. The reboot was so slow I decided to...
