Re: FLASH: Client Mac Difficulties/ Site Check

[Catherine Kunicki]

I didn't try loading the site, but sometimes when a mac comes up with odd 

problems like you describe, the system is in serious need of help. This is

sometimes a symptom when file sharing is enabled in combination with a

seriously corrupted file on one of the shared disks. The OS literally can't

get a measure of how much space (or time, or k or whatever) is going to be

needed. She should probably run Nortons or Discwarrior or a similar disk

utility, then rebuild the desktop and try again.


(btw, it doesn't have to be caused by file sharing - it can be a symptom of

bad scsi stuff, of lousy iomega drivers, bla bla bla. I've just noticed it

most with file sharing enabled)
