I upgraded from leopard to mountain lion ( 10.8.2) on my iMac ( 2009 4gb/3GHz) just so I could download iMovie 11. Since then I keep having a lock up problem where if I try to move my cursor to the top right and change volume, try to use the search bar ( not sure this is what it is called but the icon to search/locate information ) , the clock doesn't change time. In other words everything is frozen and a beach ball is all that I see. I can use the left side of the screen just not the right upper portion. If I restart my computer all is fine for a while then later it locks up again. Also the computer in general is a little slower than it was with leopard especially after being idle for a while-seems to need extra time to respond when I start again. From reading the forum a reinstall maybe needed but I was hoping for something easier. Any help would be appreciated.
