Hi, It's not VO+p+r, it is cmd-+option+p+r. I usually use my left thumb across the cmd and option keys then my left index and right pinky for the "r" and "p" respectively. What it does is clears out your memory so that any residual stuff that has, for whatever reason, remained clogging up your memory, is sent off into la la land. This process helps quite often when Macs are behaving erratically. It is also suggested by Apple as a "next step" in certain troubleshooting situations. For example, the "Restart" is suggested first then the "Clear PRAM" next, when troubleshooting power issues.
