Our computer is an EMac running 10.2.4 with 640 MB memory. If we boot after a shut down or restart everything is fine; however, if we run one program, quit that program and open another it starts to slow down. This gets progressively worse each time we quit a program and start another until it gets so slow that we have to shut down and start over. Today I talked to , Carl, a service rep from Apple. He suggested I run Disk First Aid ; however, I explained that I have run Disk First Aid, Text Tool Deluxe, and MacJanitor . This helps for a while but the problem comes right back. After Carl checked a reference he came to the conclusion that the computer is not clearing memory when we QUIT a program. It is just like trying to open several programs, one on top of the other. He said HP printer drivers may be causing the problem . We are using a HP 952 c Printer and HP 3570 c Scanner. Is anyone using HP printers or scanners? If so have you experienced this problem?
