[QUOTE="mickibob, post: 1521363, member: 90459"] After updating from 10.5 to 10.6 everything worked much better for a couple of months but then problems began. Crashes - A number of times the computer either turns off or goes to a gray screen and then I have to turn it off (hold power button for 10 seconds) then back on. Sometimes the gray screen actually looks like the old b&w tv sets with lines across it. It usually, but not always happens when working in Safari. When I updated to 10.6 and told the computer to go to sleep (apple icon / sleep) it did so immediately. Now, after some surfing or e mailing or whatever, it takes about 20 seconds from the time I click sleep before it goes to sleep. It never took so long with 10.5 One time, the mouse froze and I had to turn the computer off manually then on. If I restart the computer, it takes a while for everything to clear the screen, turn off and then a long time before it starts again. After restart, everything works correctly until the next time... I remove the caches every month and reset Safari at the same time. When I was having similar problems with 10.5 apple suggested deleting these files, Com.apple.finder.plist Com.apple.loginwindow.plist Com.apple.systempreferences.plist Com.apple.unversalaccess.plist I don't remember if it made things better and I don't know what they are so I'm reluctant to delete them again. Any help in fixing these problems is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
