Hello everyone! Hope you all had a great Christmas!!
So, i've had my MacBook Pro (2ghz Core Duo, 1gb ram, 80gb HD,128mb G-Card) for about 5 months now. However, just recently i have started to notice that it is taking longer to start up than it used to. Longer to shut down or restart (with my desktop image staying on screen for a good few seconds before shut down). It doesnt really seem to have slowed down too much when i am actually on the computer, although it is very slightly more sluggish when loading programs, etc.
So, i am just wondering if there is anything i can do to resolve this at all? I have used 30gb of my HD space, and i would'nt really say i have too much stuff on the system.
Are there any programs i can d/l to sort of 'defrag'? Anything within OSX that i can use - like a utility - to help clean things up at all??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
