Berry) says: > >The solution is to boot Finder instead of MultiFinder (hold down > command when booting) The trouble with this is, if you have previously (as usual) Set Startup to run Multifinder, the rebuild message comes up only after Multifinder has started. So I guess the trick is to start the machine, then re-Set Startup to Finder only, then reboot with the shift-option-command held down. Thanks for the explanation about the Finder memory, incidentally. I had increased my Finder memory allocation to avoid this problem, and will now go back. Clive Steward
