try onyx, run all the maintenance and cleanup stuff. also, if i were you, i would do a clean install of 10.6 and do the updates from there - if onyx does not fix most of your issues.

Try Drive Genius. Its a bootdisc to defrag your HDD. Works really good. And don't let the ur HDD got more than 1/2 full. Mine was 85% full, starting up the mozilla is a suffering. After defrag it, clean all the unuse language files, and delete all the files that is not needed, my mac seems working much faster than before.

which one? did you do the disc scan?

- No, but first backup your most important file. You can do it DIY or use a backup hdd and switch on the time machine.

This is funny laugh.gif, cant really believe i will see this kind of question. but can't blame you for that. Well, if you want to perform right click, just use your middle finger to click it like how you did with a windows mouse. The right click is actually there, it just being "removed" from the design for an innovative and creative look.

My Macbook is not working as well as I hoped. Boot camp drivers for Windows 7 is terrible, the touch pad is not working properly (no tap to click, scrolling erratic) and there's no option to dim the display causing it to suck up a lot of energy.

I might have to use back my old Acer laptop if I can't find a solution because I need Windows for my computing classes.

I have it, but it severely affects the processing power and I might need it for compiling or something.

Yeap, thats the cons of using virtual machine. So, what program do ur computing class using? And in bootcamp, the function for "tap to click" is actually there! and the brightness can dim it down. In ur bootcamp, you should change the power performance to "balance" not "performance" so that you will have a longer bettery life. Guess what? my mbp with 9600 when switch to "performance" for the power performance, the battery only last 1 hour. drool.gif but in SL, with 9600 can last 3hrs something. cool2.gif
