Get the S.B.D. when I log into my acct.

[bluegothic13]

Hi,

My G4 is set up for 3 user accounts. I'm the "system administrator".

For some reason I can't log into my account. The dock icons show, but no hard drive icon. I just get the spinning ball of death!

Only one of the three accounts can be accessed sucessfully. And processing runs slow there.

Is there some key commands I can depress on start up that will magically fix things? Is there some utility I could somehow run to fix things?

When I sleep, I only see the SBD - spinning ball of death!

Please help me.

Thanks.

Well i would bet the farm your account is either looking for a network drive it can not find or you have something in your startup files that is broke.

As the administrator have you Repaired Permissions (from Disk Utility) from one of those accounts or an install disk. Also consider getting the number one repair utility called DiskWarrior. Lastly consider running the maintenance scripts on the machine (on regular basis) from programs like Yasu, Macaroni, iDefrag, Maintenance (and/or Onyx) and to many others to list.

If you don't believe OS X needs periodic maintenance then read Dr. Smoke's FAQ on the subject.
