    Does Anyone else get the a really slow boot-up of Mac OSX after installing Beta 4?

    The only change I had was installing the Beta, and now when I turn on Macbook, the thing sits in blue screen (post apple logo and spinning indicator but pre mouse cursor) for an abnormaly long time.

    This disappeared when I uninstalled parallels and removed the parallels items from start-up.

    I have no Parallels startup items. If I did, it would probably slow down boot, and in fact, may not work properly since starting a hypervisor before the OS is completely done booting probably hasn't been thoroughly tested and may cause conflicts. Bad idea IMHO.

    Try installing Parallels without startup items.

    I don't know how to install without startup items... I just click upgrade in the installation window... I'm attaching a shot of the files I deleted last time to speed things up....
