[QUOTE="chscag, post: 666467, member: 46727"] To add to the very good advice you received...... I recommend upgrading your MBP internal HD before installing Leopard again. There's no point doing an OS upgrade if the amount of HD space left over is not adequate enough to do anything. I believe some of the problems you were experiencing were caused by lack of drive space. Unix operating systems are hefty in size, and Mac OS X with each iteration uses more drive space. With today's prices for HDs being what they are, it's a good opportunity to purchase and install a new HD. I realize installing a new HD in a MBP is not something easily done by the user and may entail labor costs to have Apple do it. However, I still believe it's worth it especially if you intend to keep the machine for awhile longer. Regards. [/QUOTE]
