The first thing I would do here is repair the disk permissions. When starting up the mac, hold command+r to boot in to the recovery mode, once booted, press command+f5 to start voice over, open the disk utility and have it check the disk for problems. Once that is done, have it repair the permissions. Once this is done, try restarting normally and see if things improve. The other thing you could try is to use a program such as onyx or cocktail and have it clear all the system and application caches. On Jan 9, 2012, at 4:05 PM, Richard Ring wrote:
