[QUOTE="cm105bpp, post: 784981, member: 73966"] I bought my MacBook Pro last May and I'm running OS X 10.5.6. If your computer can boot up after you powered it off, you must have gone to STANDBY instead of a SHUTDOWN (as in power off). STANDBY leaves much of the OS active and can heat up your laptop especially if you have returned it to your laptop case. So, unless you intend to go into STANDBY mode instead of shutdown, check your system preference to make sure you shutdown, instead of going to standby mode. It's been a while since I adjusted that, so I cannot tell you where exactly to check in Preferences. Sorry! My wife is a PC user who occasionally uses my MacBook and I see that she is careless about whether she has one or two fingers on the touch-pad when she clicks, which has the same effect as CTL-Click (Right Click in PC lingo). That does cause strange things to happen, especially when the screen display cannot keep up with you finger movements. [/QUOTE]
