When we were running OS 10.2 we installed a game control called IShock. It never worked very well but it appeared to cause no problems so we just left it on the hard drive. When we upgrades our OS to 10.3.9 problems started. Quickly our available memory on our hard drive dropped from 28 GB to 7 GB. We installed a new 120 GB hard drive and brought available memory back up to 90.13 GB. Memory started dropping again, down to 73.04 GB. We called Apple and they said to: ( a ) Run Activity Monitor , open CPU, and quit the IShock driver; ( b ) run Console , click on Logs icon, highlight system.log, click Clear to empty it; ( c ) remove IShock from Startup Items from Account in System folder. We have been able to do everything but run Console, it freezes and the only way to get out is to FORCE QUIT. We also ran FIND to locate all IShock applications and trashed them. Our available memory seems to have stabilized , but is there any way we can recover some of our spent memory? I apologize for such a long dissertation but this thing is driving me up the wall.
Any suggestions from the group?
