Are you running the native OS X version or the old MacOS version under Classic? I daily run the OS X version and never noticed any slowdown. In fact, I'm amazed at how fast it flies under OS X! > > Second, even though I have energy saver set to maximum everything for > running off the battery, Microsoft Word's autocorrect and various other > functions slow down as soon as I unplug the computer. Any ideas? Hmmm, no idea here. You mean, you set the settings so that the computer goes to sleep only after a long delay? I have very conservative settings, like screen dims after 1.5 minute and system goes to sleep after 3 minutes and I haven't noticed any slowdown, although I'm not sure if and when I might have used Word when running off the battery. Do you have the latest version of Word, SR1 or 10.1.4? Word X, right? -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] casting the runes n.: What a guru does when you ask him or her to run a particular program and type at it because it never works for anyone else; esp. used when nobody can ever see what the guru is doing different from what J.
