[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1430099, member: 38864"] That, or have you tried reinstalling Snow Leopard yourself from scratch? One thing to do is split your drive into 2 partitions, perhaps make the 2nd one 50 GB or so, then do a clean install of Snow Leopard to that 2nd partition and try things out while booted from that. Create a new, clean user… don't install anything else or migrate any user data. Obviously take care not to overwrite the primary partition, and of course have a backup available just in case. Heck… you could do this with an external drive also, or even a flash thumb drive (needs to be at least 16 GB in size, iirc, and will be very slow to operate from). Barring the long-shot possibility of this just being a Snow Leopard specific issue, this should otherwise completely rule out this being a software problem of any kind. [/QUOTE]
