I have G4 Powerbook with Superdrive and 1 gig of ram. It's been an extremely successful and well-working machine for me. But now whenever i restart it takes almost 20-30 minutes to reload the operating system. Does anyone know why this is?

jsw said:By "reload the operating system" do you mean that it takes that long to get to the login screen, or to complete logging in as you? If it's the latter, create a new account and log into that account next time and see if it takes a lot less time - if so, you've probably got a ton of stuff set up in System Preferences...->Accounts->[you]->Startup Items.
