Hi I guess some of what we are probably experiencing is outlined below. Software is installed in one account and causes problems in another. When you attempt to fire up software it is hardly instantaneous and the software can crash as a result of permission problems. The user just sees the spinning thingy. Repairing the permissions seems to allow the 3rd party software to function on a multi account computer. People who do not run multi accounts probably would not experience this phenomenon. Best Matthew Issues Related to Permissions Incorrect permission settings may cause unexpected behavior. Here are several examples with troubleshooting suggestions: Application installers, Applications folder A third-party application installer incorrectly sets permissions on the files it installs, or even the entire Applications folder. Symptoms of the Application folder's permissions being set incorrectly include applications appearing in the dock as question marks, and/or not being able to connect to the Internet. It is also possible that software installed while logged in as one user will be inaccessible when logged in as another. To avoid this, make sure you are logged in with your normal user account when installing software that you wish to use with that account. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 _________________________________ Matthew Ward matthew@matthewwardphotography.com www.matthewwardphotography.com www.imagebasedlighting.co.uk _________________________________

We run Macs with multiple user accounts (15-20). They regularly grind to a near halt. Repairing permissions seems to speed them up again and often allows them to see a missing network drive (Could just be the reboot).
That doesn't make a lot of sense. Bad permissions will cause file access failures, not slowdowns. It sounds like voodo computing to me.
