Something odd is going on with my InDesign CS3 (v5.0.1) application. Symptoms are: opening files sometimes takes up to 10 minutes (yes 10 minutes of spinning beachball); saving files also can take several minutes. I'm not hearing a lot of hard disk activity, so whatever is happening seems mainly to be in the CPU or RAM.
Running Activity Monitor during either of these processes (opening or saving a file from InDesign) shows InDesign as "(Not Responding)" for long periods of time (minutes) before it finally does finish the task of opening or saving the file. Other applications are not showing this extreme slowness. A possible clue: When I Safe Boot, this problem goes away. I'm running Leopard 10.5.1 (perhaps another clue?) on a MacBook Pro, Intel Duo Core, 2.33 GHz, 2GB or RAM. My hard drive is pretty full, with only about 10 GB or free space on it. I've spent the better part of a day restarting my computer, safe booting, turning off startup items, deactivating preference panes, etc., etc. Haven't found the culprit yet. Any theories or suggestions from you Macsleuths out there? Dan
