start-up in Tiger

Hey. I just recently copied a large file from my computer at work to my home computer, and since then every time i restart, it takes about 10-15 minutes for tiger to load. it will start with a gray backgroung with a small light blue box with a blinking globe in the middle. it looks like an os9 interace. after that goes for a while, a small icon of a folder with the 'finder' icon blinking in the middle appears. this goes on for a while.
i think my computer installed something that works with classic, and maybe it's trying to find something. i have since deleted the file, repaired permisssions, zapped the PRAM (?), and anything else I could think to do. no good.
any suggestions?
i just updated to 10.4.6 also--don't know if this matters.
 
Go to your Starup Disk preferencepane and choose your boot disk and restart and see if it helps.
 
WOW!! that was such a quick/easy fix. so i guess it was just searching to start up some network that doesn't exist. someone at work suggested i take it to CryWolf (a mac tech center in san diego) at the cost of about $150 just to look at it. Thanks man--you're the shit!
