A while ago, I posted a question about my PB Al 15 Loaded locking up while cutting and pasting from one app to another.
Expose would suddenly stop working, as would the dock. The screen (which was switching wallpapers every five seconds) would be frozen with two of my pics locked in a rather ungraceful embrace on the screen. Oh, yeah, I'd have to power down the computer by giving it the 5-second finger after it gave ME the finger when I asked it politely to restart. I hate rude computers!
At first I thought it was a problem with Firefox or iTunes (the programs I was using when this happened) or maybe a corrupt wallpaper file. No dice.
The problem is quite definitely between the wallpaper changer and Expose. Confirmed. When I hit the Expose button (scroll button on my mouse) several times in rapid succession (anywhere from 12 to 20 or so), the lockup happens. If I turn off the wallpaper changer, I can Expose-click 'till the cows come home, make dinner, go to bed, wake up, and go back out to pasture without so much as a snide glance from the computer.
So, has anyone else noted this, or am I the owner of a possessed Mac?
Thanks!
ETA: Hmmmm...... Maybe I should have put this in the OS forum. Oh, well!
