powerbook problem
my powerbook developed a disturbing problem yesterday. it functions
normally except that starting up a new program takes an inordinate amount of time (like minutes, where it used to take seconds). this applies to all programs, even simple ones like TextEdit. starting up the system takes minutes longer as well. while a program is loading the system essentially freezes, responding to commands very slowly. programs once a program is loaded everything goes back to normal speed as far as I can tell. the problem came on suddenly. while I was using the computer I opened Safari and it took minutes to load. I did a reboot and it's been in slow-load-mode ever since. I have 512 mb RAM (2 x 256) and a 1.25 ghz processor. I haven't installed anything new recently. my 80 gig hd is almost full, but it's been like that for probably a couple months. help? |
