[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1221657"] I find that jakerich's answer is generally the right one most of the time ... a LOT of people (particularly Windows switchers) appear to be unaware of how to properly quit programs, so they stay open ... eventually this reaches dozens of open programs and the RAM is all used up, which causes much slower VRAM to kick in, followed by eventual loss of all disk space and then real trouble. Try restarting the machine, and preventing any auto-loading programs from loading (or let them load, then REALLY quit them as in "command-q"). See if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, check your hard drive's free space. [/QUOTE]
