My 13.3" MBP came with 10.6.6 and I dutifully updated it to 10.6.8. The trouble is I also did a lot of other things, so I can't tell what's done what. Anyway, in the past week the machine has run like a dog, and today I finally reinstalled OS-X from the original disk. I didn't erase the disk beforehand, hoping it would just repair or replace those files that had been corrupted. I was delighted to find as I prayed that nothing else has changed, and I still have all my data and added programs. But it's running much more snappily than it has done for some time. My question - might my problems with poor running & difficulty opening & closing programs have been related to the upgrade to 10.6.8, or is that likely to be just a coincidence? I don't want to return to 10.6.8 if it just brings back my problems.
Interestingly, the "about this Mac" page says my update disk is 10.6.8, which it certainly isn't. It's 10.6.6, and that's what has just been reinstalled.
