Hey all,
I've had my MBP early 2008, 2.4ghz for about a year and a half now. I have always run the maintenance, scripts, repair permissions and everything on a regular basis. I've had snow leopard for a few months now. I'm using about 95/200 gigs on the hard drive. I always keep applications and the os up-to-date. I have a lot of the visuals/eye candy stuff turned off to make everything run quicker. Now my problem.
Recently, I've noticed that the drop down menus, the ones that seem to "slide" out of the title bar, are moving in what appears to be slow motion. For example, in Firefox, when i go to Firefox>Preferences, it will take several seconds to completely slide down. Same thing happens when I close it and it slides back up. It's not just firefox that does this, but other apps as well, ones that have the menu's slide down like that. the pinwheel even pops up sometimes as its happening.
another example, while typing this, i clicked on the icon to insert a picture from URL, and it slid down, taking several seconds to go down and up.
I tried just reinstalling snow leopard to see if it'd fix it, it didn't. Anyone else ever encounter this, or have an idea to fix it? If i could somehow disable the feature all together and have the menus pop up separately like in safari even that would be great.
i attached a screen shot of the menu as its sliding out so you know what i'm talking about. any help would be greatly appreciated!
