[QUOTE="urprobablyright, post: 880554, member: 112993"] I have a Macbook Pro - which I purchased about 6 months ago and is of the recent generation - which is giving me strife. There are lots of things about it that are annoying me but generally I can solve problems by switching to my windows partition, sadly though there's one stuff-up that i cannot avoid and that i must fix. I have the mac version of Microsoft Word, and it is terrible. On my relatively new mac, word freezes whenever I try to open a word document with pictures in it, it loads for many minutes whenever i try to copy/paste things - especially when those things are pictures, but text is almost as bad - and, essentially, I have to force quit 5 minutes into every session of use. It's riddled, apparently, with bugs or scripting stuff-ups and it's driving me up the walls. [B]a) What the heck is affecting it? b) What is it about mac operating systems that makes things slow down/stuff up - is it my fault? How can I fix it? I've asked many people if there are mac defrag programs and they say no - but none of the fools can tell me what I CAN do. c) What can I do to fix it short of sending it halfway across the world for 2 months of repair?[/B] ps. For the record, I bought my mac in Beijing, China. This may or may not be a problem though since I bought it in an official Mac store for official Mac prices. [/QUOTE]
