The very first question that needs asking when Pluto gets uppity is How
big has it grown?

Icon bar Menu-Statistics.

Pluto is generally a very stable app and good at repairing itself, however
once it grows past a certain size, and it varies with different computers,
Pluto starts to get uppity.

There are two solutions.
1) Create external boxes and move old stuff out of Pluto itself into these
external boxes.

2) Prune/dump any ancient stuff not really required

Personally I use the External boxes method and three times a year I move
stuff out of Pluto and into the external boxes.

After that, if the Garbage statistics are still up, I Run then Quit Pluto
a few time to excise some of that.

After that's done, if Pluto is still uppity, time to ask more questions.

Jeremy's suggestion is a next good step if you still have problems.
