Running slow
I've been running 10.5.2 r2 since it's release and i find that it's very slow. Applications are slow to respond, etc. I'm running this on the same machine I've run 10.4.8, 10.4.9 and 10.4.10 on. My system specs are AMD Athlon 64 4000+…

Front Row
Any idea why Front Row would give me a blank, black screen every 30 seconds? I just noticed this recently. I haven't updated anything. What would cause it to do this and is there a remedy?

Running slow
“No. It's an nForce motherboard. It works fine under 10.4.8 and 10.4.10 (Tubgirl) releases. It actually worked nicely with 10.5.1. However, 10.5.2 seem a little slower. Less stable as well. I need to figure this out if I'm to stay with 10.5.…”

Installation complete but computer keeps rebooting
“Doesn't work.. I have the same problem. Only my install was over my 10.5.1 working install. I'm using MBR. I checked to make sure that MBR was selected with the 10.5.2 installer.”

Front Row
“I would need a 2nd install in order to do that. As it is, this install is running natively on a partition on its own. I think I may have found the problem. It seems that by turning off the screen saver option in Front Row it now seems to ru…”
