[QUOTE="EGGO, post: 647598, member: 48866"] Back when I had a Windows machine, the way to correct this problem was to uninstall Yahoo Instant Messenger. My mac has crashed more frequently than Windows, so far. But 3 months is not a fair ratio to 4-5 years. There's nothing wrong, it happens on legal software but corrects itself after a reboot, I guess. Corbri doesn't sound like he actually read your post, since you said Force Quit does nothing (and it has happened to me before) and a blue screen never reformatted my hard drive. In fact, I'm still using the same one from my Windows machine. It all comes down to this, and this is something almost everybody hates to realize. The two operating systems are pretty much the same. One is not more "stable" they both can run "hard" because I did more with my Windows machine than Corbri is doing on his Mac and still had enough to render 3D with no problems, and a lot more that I already got into in another post. It's not a "myth" it's a marketing thing that Apple does that worked to bring people in. [/QUOTE]
