Hi there... I re-installed OSX this morning, to address a separate issue... which it seems to have fixed. But now for some reason, my Mac is running a little slower than normal... mouse clicks "hesitate" before actually doing what I want them to, contextual menus take a second or two to pop up when I Ctrl-Click, typing in any application causes a slight hesitation every 4th or 5th word, web pages seem to be lagging when they load, and keyboard commands of any kind hesitate before they work as well.
I re-installed OSX 10.4.7, then did the Software Update to 10.4.10... I also re-installed Photoshop CS2... but aside from that, I haven't changed anything else.
Full disclosure: The reason I re-installed the OS in the first place was that I was trying to get a plugin for Photoshop to work (called SiteGrinder). I tried many things, and nothing worked... until I was doing a trial-and-error thing with the Preferences in a new account... when I logged back into my main account, the plugin mysteriously worked! I just uninstalled the plugin, thinking maybe that was the cause, but still having the same problem.
I've also done these steps:
- Used OnyX to clean up caches, repair permissions
- Used Disk Utility to repair permissions
- Created a new account to test (works fine, no delays/hesitation)
Any other suggestions or ideas why this is happening? SOOOO aggravating! Thanks!
