My G4 Dual 500 takes like 5 minutes to boot.
I turn it on. The starting sound plays. Black Screen. 5 Minutes later the OS9.1 screen showing up. Sometimes when I played with the "Extensions On/Off" it boots normal. But after 2 or 3 Reboots it's back to the old state... Anyone knows this problem? I think my Mac has a problem remembering stuff too. I always turn on the function "go to directory last used by program" and it always switches back to "go to directory prefered by the program" after i reboot. Maybe someone knows all this :-) |

hmm, well the only other thing I can think of is your HD may be fragmented and need to be defraged... that can slow everything down a bit... and if that is not it... you may want to consider doing a system clean install especially if you are having other problems. Sorry don't really know what to tell you beyond that.
oh yeah... it could be an extension hanging it up too... you could aways use extension manager and turn off any that aren't needed and you can turn the non OS9 ones off one by one and see if they are the culprit. -------------------- ----------------------------------------
