Hi Marlene As Ronni has mentioned, I wouldn't use the USB on the keyboard, as it only supplies a smaller amount of power. I'd be using the USB on the back of the iMac. Secondly, also try repairing Permissions (Using Disk Utility in your Applications/Utilities folder).
Hopefully those two things should help it run better. Kind Regards Daniel On 28/2/10 11:30 AM, "Ronda Brown" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Marlene, > I'm away from my computers/network.
