[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1225706, member: 56379"] Ok...thanks for the info. Still could use a little more detail...but we can work with what was posted (being a newer iMac rather than a really old one);) Some thoughts: - When was the last time you repaired permissions (Disk Utility)? - How often do you restart your computer versus putting it to sleep when you're done? - How many programs do you usually have open at once (and what are they)? - When you experience these slow-downs...open "Activity Monitor"...and see what your ram usage is like (% of total ram used) & what cpu processes are active (total % of cpu resources used). HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
