[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 28709, member: 273"] It's doubtful that this will help, but has the machine had the permissions repaired and all of the maintenance scripts run? To repair the permissions, open the application called Disk Utility. Select the main HDD (startup disk), and click "First Aid", then on "Repair Disk Permissions". To run the maintencance scripts, do the following (be sure to do it for all three daily, weekly, and monthly scripts): 1. Open the application "Terminal" (found in Applications/Utilities). 2. Type: sudo sh /etc/daily Optionally, for Mac OS X 10.2 or later, you can use: sudo periodic daily Typing [b]daily[/b] runs tasks normally scheduled for a daily interval. Type [b]monthly[/b] or [b]weekly[/b] in place of [b]daily[/b] to runs tasks scheduled for those intervals. Weekly tasks usually require a longer time to run than others. 3. Press Return. 4. Enter your Admin password when prompted, then press Return. 5. Quit Terminal when you have performed all three tasks. Then restart the machine and see if it has helped at all. [/QUOTE]
