[QUOTE="ljdezyn, post: 1512016, member: 300781"] Hey Everyone, This is my first post so apologies in advance if I've broken some rules My mac is a 15" from 2012. So its about a year old. When I login, all my previously opened applications are restored like normal, the problem is the screen or computer is acting like its frozen, except the pointer moves around the screen as normal. I can't "COMMAND+TAB" to switch between applications, when I mouse over the dock the icons don't magnify or zoom. The dock remains static, as does the rest of the interface. Email is downloaded automatically, again normal, complete with the notification in the top right corner - but again I click on it and nothing happens. The menus don't respond to clicks and on it goes. Sometimes it wont even login - everything described above also applies to the login screen, where clicking on the user icons doesn't do anything - the same goes for clicking on the other screen items like Shut-down and Reboot etc. The only thing I can do is a hard shut down, by holding the power button until the computer powers down. Then after powering on, as I said, sometimes I can login as normal - but if I can, the above applies. Please help ..... *saddest face* [/QUOTE]
