emac 700mhz 396ram 10.2.8 running slower than usual. I have repaired permissions (disk utility), scanned hard drive for viruses (norton antivirus) and ran Techtool Pro all with little help! Any ideas?
I am thinking of increasing memory but thought I should fix this emac first. Is that correct/should I wait? I also have wanted to upgrade to 10.3.9 and tried installing that os ( from install disk from 1.25ghz emac I own). Install worked but hard disk did not mount on the desktop. I could not figure that one out so I went back to 10.2.8. I also was thinking of connecting the 2 emacs together with a firewire cable and installing the os and apps from the 10.3.9 to the maching that is going slower currently. Is this a good or bad idea?
A few months ago, on the machine that is now going slower, safari stopped working. We have been using explorer since then. The slow down began a few days ago, so yesterday I tried to download safari again and it downloads but when launched it immediately shuts down and refuses to cooperate. I then downloaded firefox and it worked great yesterday. Today it is slower also.
I would appreciate any ideas, Thanks!
