[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1392836, member: 56379"] Generally speaking...the Apple hardware test application is only available on disk #2 of the two gray disk set that originally shipped with a computer when new. If you don't have those original disks...then you're probably out of luck. On the positive side...if the only issue with the computer is running slow...this is really not something the Apple hardware test would detect. The Apple hardware test is for detecting hardware malfunction issues. Some possible reasons this computer is running slowly are: 1. Because the computer is old. 2. Because the hard drive (as you mentioned) only has 8gig of free space remaining...which isn't very much. 3. You could also launch Disk Utility...and repair permissions. The biggest issue I see...is the hard drive is too full. There must be some stuff on there that can be deleted (or moved to an external drive) to free up some space. - Nick [/QUOTE]
