Drive capacity

2010-06-14 Thread John Thompson

Hi John, You had the same problem back on 22 May 2010. Did you find a reason then? Are you using Parallels have a Virus Program running such a McAfee, which could be generating a large file? Check Activity Monitor and the Console logs, they should show you what is using up your CPU time.
