do you select in the Optimize in Tool Selection the File Optimization and also the Volume Optimization ?
Thanks for your help .

A Cold Start ... is when the Computer is shut down .. with the power off ... for about 90 seconds to be sure that the residual power that is in there holding data (such as on a re-start) ... has quieted down.
If you have ever done any Router diagnostics with your Internet Service Provider .. they often times ask you to unplug the router from the wall socket for a minute ... so that gives the router time to re-set for a cold start.
As for the second question .. I just do a File Optimization.
In my opinion a Volume Optimization stacks all the data software cheek to jowl .. and as soon as the computer is restarted that is all scatter to heck .. as the computer must make more room .. nearby to the software you have made active so as to be more quick about it. Just doing File Optimization seems to make the iMac work longer .. as there is more available room on the hard drive to find code instructions. Again .. just my opinion. I do not have a Master of Science in Electronic Engineering ... I am just a psychology major.
If you have ever heard of the card game "52 pick up" ... the person introducing you to the game tosses all the cards in the air .. and says ... ok .. go pick them up. That cards are so much easier to deal with when stacked up in the hand. Similar to the computer .. when the data is so scattered about .. it is to much for the computer to deal with in any efficient and timely manner .. so it gets a brain cramp.
The computer software .. efforts to work as long as it came ... trying to keep all this information together.
When I do NOT have TTP optimize working at all .. my iMac will last about 3 days .. and then basically refuse to work with screen freeze and other head aches such as mouse dysfunction ... rendering the iMac worthless to use.
The iMac wants to work .. it just can not find the next command code to do its job.
