[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1329583, member: 190607"] A problem such as you described usually comes from installing outdated and/or incompatible (with your version of the Mac OS) stay-resident software. As I mentioned, the most common culprit is usually Flash (which is why Steve Jobs hated Flash), but it could be any kernel extension (to modify the behavior of the OS), startup item, or application plug-in. The thing to do is, when you install new software, only do so one program at a time, and note if it has any adverse effects before installing anything else. That way, you always know what they last thing that you installed was, and you know what to uninstall to reverse any negative results. Just curious...did you try what I suggested you do, using Activity Monitor? Usually that will point right to the problematic software. [/QUOTE]
