Left laptop on today and when I cam home it was crawling and finally it permanently beach-balled. I forced a shut down and restarted it. Now it's crawling again. On a PC I would know how to look for what is dragging the machine down but I haven't a clue here.

Ideas?

Click to expand...

Open up the Activity Monitor and see what is running. You can click on any hog and force quit it. Won't hurt to run Disk Utility either.
