Hi,
I think my Macbook Pro is about to die
. I have all sorts of problems with it. A few weeks back, I had trouble starting the notebook up as it kept showing a flashing folder with a question mark. Although I still managed to log in eventually, it's been temperamental since then.
Yesterday it was running extremely slow (everything was slow: all apps took forever) so I removed all the films I had downloaded and lots of photos thinking it might be memory space and restarted it. I also have stopped any apps from opening at login. The flashing folder with the question mark came up again so I restarted it again and I eventually was able to log in (although it took forever!). Now it is just super slow and I can't even send an email without safari quitting unexpectedly.
Here's my notebook info:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro7,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz

Go easy on me, I don't understand computers at all!
Oh yeah also I don't have the startup disc to reinstall as I moved to Spain and left it in England.
Thanks in advance!
