I'm running a macOSX version 10.2.8 and everytime I try to open my AVID Xpress DV 3.5 it starts to scan my hard drive and around the 40 percent mark it freezes. I can still move my mouse but the scan stops. Is my problem the AVID I'm running or do I have to disk defrag my mac? Any help would be great. Thanks for your time.

Did you update Avid. There is an update available to version 3.5.3.

Defragmentation is probably not necessary. I would boot from the OS X install CD and run a disk check on the drive to make sure there's no errors preventing AVID from reaching 100% on the scan first.
I wish the board's software had an auto-detection for the word 'norton' and would warn users before posting anything about Norton with the message: "Please be careful about mentioning Norton's software. It is known to kill Macs in any version on any version of the operating system. Do not advise users to make use of their applications and do not ask for help with the application. If you really want to continue..." ;-)

That is not exactly true. Norton does a great job with the older systems (7.5, 8.x and 9.x). And there is also Norton Anti Virus, which does a good job.
It is OS X that Norton does not do well. So the alert would say "You running OS X, do not use Norton Utilities !"
and i verified the disk and it shows to problems that need to be fixed. So i try to repair them and it tells me that I have to close all my programs... and then to press continue to automatically close the programs so it can start the repair. But when I do it starts to verify again and it scans my hard drive again. This is getting really frustrating... any pointers from you guys about this problem? Thanks for helping guys.
