I've been working on Golive 6 with Mail and Explorer open, an internet radio stream on explorer.

As the day progressed everything on my mac was getting slower and slower.

Is this just a shutdown and restart now and then issue, or might there be some other OS X / Internet / HD / Other issue I need to address?

Thanks

Some info about your system might help. RAM, MHz OS 10.? etc

He has an iMac 500 MHz G3 with 768 MB RAM and running Mac OS X 10.2.2 - it says so right in his signature.

HP drivers? Sounds like the symptoms...

Do you have much room left on your hard disk? I know iMacs used to come with itty bitty disks that could get bogged down with junk and bring your machine to an unbearable crawl.

Anyway, I don't think it's just a matter of restarting every now and then if it got slower over the course of one day. I leave OS X computers on for a week or more at a time generally without noticing any slowdown.

Seem like memory leaks. GoLive may be the app to blame.

A restart would easily fix it though. If not, try download XOptimize from www.versiontracker.com

Check your disk space. Anything less than a gig is too little.

My money's on a memory leak, probably GoLive.

GoLive is the culprit.
