Snow Leopard boot up problems on MBP
Using Snow Leopard on MBP; on opening, laptop hangs up before getting to Log-In. Spinning ball freezes and nothing further happens. Have to do a hard shut-down to turn laptop off. I had noticed some corruption on bottom of Snow Leopard boot up prior to this problem - a pattern of tiny multicolored squares at bottom of start up screen. Snow Leopard ran fine for a couple of months prior to this. Any suggestions about what's happening and/or solutions? Thank you.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.3)
