Sorry if this is in the wrong subforum
My Macbook Pro has been crashing a lot recently, I've tried running virus scans and verifying disk permissions and such, but to no avail, it just freezes and won't unfreeze until I hold the power button. It's not even a year old, so it's pretty annoying.
I decided today that I'm going to format the disk and reinstall Leopard on it, to see if it makes any difference. But, I really don't want to have to go through the whole mess of getting all my programs back, and getting and configuring all their addons and stuff, like all the addons for Firefox. Does Time Machine back up programs and their settings? If I use it to restore my Mac, would it restore the programs as well as whatever might be wrong with it?
I realise the latter is a stupid question, since it could be anything that's wrong with it... but... you know...
Any help is much appreciated.
