Hi Ashley, if things are running slow, have you tried resetting the pram? To do this, the finger combination is a bit tricky, but I just did it this morning, because I didn't know what was going on with my tables, and so I fixed things that weren't broken, "lol," but here is how you do it, shut down the mac, and then hold down the letters p and r, with command and option, then you start your mac, and you'll hear the chime, just keep those four keys held down until you hear the second chime, then let up on the keys, and let it re-boot, and see how things are.

Voiceover is acting strange, I used the reset all option in voiceover utility, and even though I have disabled some things, they still work. For example, I have my numpad commander turned off, however it still seams to be enabled. All was working fine about 3 weeks ago. I've done all the repairing in disk utility as well as other utilities I could find. There isn't anything strange in activity moneter. I've tryed turning voiceover off, and then restarting it both using system prefurences and cmd+F5.Any suggestions? thanks! ash Personal website: www.ashleycox.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: David Poehlman To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, September 12, 2009 5:18 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Reset everything on snow leopard? what has gone rong?
