Whenever I restart my PB, immediately after the screen comes on, I get the folder with the flashing question mark which flashes one time for about a second before switching to the Mac "happy face" icon from the OS 9 days. That stays on the screen for about a second before the normal OS X gray screen/with gray apple appears and the PB starts up normally.
This has been going on for several months. It happens literally every time I restart or start from a shut down. I've run disk utility and verified my disk, repaired permissions, etc. Anybody have any suggestions as to what may be causing it, and should I be concerned? (I do consistently back everything up with an external HD using Time Machine.)
