[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1293194, member: 56379"] Generally speaking...OS reinstalls on Macintosh computers are not necessary (not like with Windows computers). Sure an OS reinstall my help...but there are easier & less time consuming methods to fixing things. Besides...if there's a "user issue" or a "maintenance issue" to be dealt with that is causing the slow-downs...then the slow down issue will resurface in the future. An OS reinstall is not a cure for the disease...it's a band-aid. Of course now your next question is...[i]"Ok...so what should I do to solve my slow-down issues...instead of an OS reinstall?"[/i] As you must imagine...this is not the first time this question has been asked & answered. Give Mac-Forums a search...there's usually at least 4-5 things I ask a person (or suggest) to get things running better. We get this sort of question at least a few times each week (if not more). - Nick [/QUOTE]
