    When does the wheel show up? Which programs?

    In the meantime, use a program like Cocktail or Onyx and run their maintenance scripts. It will do things like clear your caches and repair permissions. You should see improvement quickly.

    Thi is a good place to start uou may try the First Aid under disk Utilites or use one of the Mac utilites that boots fro a CD ROM or External drive because they can access and repair files that are locked by your computer when booting from the primary boot disk (your ahard drive)
