Umm, yeah, and coke is sugar water. Basically. No really, it sounds like it can have both immediate and long-term effects, so if I were you I'd get it looked at by an Apple guy. Or gal. You just can't tell how far the damage is if you don't check it, right?

Isn't Skype just a regular app (runs only when you tell it to)? That is a koinkydink though.

Okay, I tried Iridium. So far, so good. It isn't quite the iTunes 5 smooth look, but it's close enough for me. Unfortunately, I think the iWork 06 look was the same as the iTunes 5 look, so Iridium wasn't welcome on Pages and Keynote, but hey, I'm satisfied since it's pretty close (the...

Thanks, that sounds like something I should do. But, reformatting the drive would wipe out my data, right? I should save up for an external hard drive to copy everything before upgrading... or does it work differently? It sounds like a lot of things may be involved in my original problem. I...

Sometimes I think that's what it is. Other times it lags on its way to appear or to hide, even though the machine actually isn't busy (it can do it with no apps open). I haven't seen it too often recently though. Just wondered if that kind of thing is common?

I'm not sure I know enough to follow you, but I think I get the general idea. Iridium, however, looks interesting, though I'll have to check it out later. Thank you. I might try it and see if it makes anything unstable, as you say the risk is higher. Only, just looking at their site, it...

Thanks for that. I'll check it out as soon as I can. Like bobw was saying, I never had problems with cleardock specifically, though the other APE modules i was using seemed to be the root of some app-crashing. I figure since ClearDock isn't supposed to mess with anything but the dock, I will...

Here's my signature if it helps.

For the record, I did search for this topic around here, but I got mostly topics dealing with "Application" or "Enhancer" and not "Application Enhancer". Some of the senior experts here seem to suggest generally avoiding APE because it seems to be invisibly tied to system instability. In my...

Thanks. In my problem, the machine "hangs" in the sense that I cannot open the force quit window or anything else, I cannot close anything, and I cannot stop anything that is going on. The mouse will move, though it may get stuck showing the wrong cursor and such. In other words, what I think...

Actually, to Firedad's situation, IF it was just in sleep, trying to shut down with the power button would have woken the system up, I think (just tested on a June 2005 PB).

Sorry, I know I should be providing solutions, but I have also had to shut down my computer forcibly a couple of times. For example, when I open 3 3D programs and 5 normal programs at once, and the whole system hangs while 2 things are loading, etc., when I am driving my PB to the extreme with...

I see. Thank you. That's too bad. Not being able to rearrange them seems very Windowsesque. Still, now that I've (hopefully) fixed the problem, I have to try to remember what all freeware I got rid of solely on the basis that it made my menu bar unsightly. Some kind of clipboard app comes...

You know what? I think that might easily have been it. I solved the problem, I think (and hope), but I'm not sure which of the things I did influenced it. Here's what all I happened to do at once: 1)Trying to get a iP8600 printer (Canon) to work, I downloaded the driver and installed it...

Oh...and anyone who has extra software/peripherals that show up in the menu bar, can those icons be rearranged? Do they mix with the Apple stuff too? Because mine seems fixed....
