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 :-) |

first, are you running tons of ram? like say 512mb - 1gig? when you boot your mac... it will do a RAM check and the more RAM you have... the longer it takes. You can bypass this in the memory control panel but to see the option you must hold apple+option key when selecting memory control panel and then you will see extra click box for turning RAM check off during startup.
yes, I too have the same problem with the last used folders in 9.1 so don't think its your computer. Its aggrivating too and don't understand why it does it. -------------------- ----------------------------------------
