[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1359798, member: 45350"] Not saying you shouldn't do a reinstall, but personally I would do this first to see if it fixes things (not neccessarily in the order I have listed them): 1) Look at getting rid of 3rd party APPs such as Anti-virus (with the possible exception of ClamAV--free and relatively harmless), MacKeeper, Norton etc. Onyx and some specific drivers such as Printopeia or NTFS driver are also excepted 2) Repair Disk Permissions (download Onyx and let it do its business too) 3) Look at HDD free space (if less than 15%, upgrade disk or remove files--judiciously) 4) Defrag the HDD (I haven't done this yet, but some here have reccomended iDefrag) [/QUOTE]
