    May I express my thanks to Jolly Roger, Tacit, Matt Neuburg, and Paul Nevai.

    You all have been very helpful in pointing me toward a resolution of the problem with my G5 failing to shut down or restart normally.

    My drive is the one that came with the G5 but some months ago I had installed Speed Tools that came with another drive that I purchased from OWC awhile back. It may be that it is an old version that is incompatible with Tiger?

    In any case, after some difficulty finding all the pieces¹ of the program and deleting them, my drive now shuts down and restarts properly.

    Generally, I leave my G5 on 24/7 so I seldom have occasion to do a shutdown. On the few occasions that I had problems earlier this spring, I just assumed it was an error of some sort that caused it. I was always able to turn it off and restart manually and just didn¹t take the time to check it out until last week.

    While I sometimes enjoy reading the mostly irrelevant banter that goes on between some who post here regularly, I must say that I believe my experience here during the past few days is really what the group is all about.

    So thank you all for sharing your wisdom and insights with me!
