Dear Jeff and WeatherCat troubleshooters,
THANKS!.. I'll try but remote is deadly slow even with ARD.. DID find PLIST files and that didn't fix it, now the Webpage is messed again..
. . . .
So how did you fix your web pages the first time? If this has failed a second time, it could be a clue as to what is wrong with your computer. Are there any indications of other problems? The fact that everything is taking so long could be an indication of hard drive trouble. Sorry to be melodramatic but I'm having a difficult time imagining how your computer could be behaving as it does. As you say, you try to avoid software updates that could cause this sort of problem. So your setup should be stable, and short of a hardware problem, essentially bulletproof.
Do let us know if you uncover anything while you troubleshoot remotely.
Cheers, Edouard
