Snow Leopard episode

Last night I gamely decided to update my sixth month old laptop to Snow Leopard (from Leopard). The first part was easy; the computer took about 50 minutes to go through the loading process, and when it was done nearly everything, and every setting, I'd started with remained. Simple right? Wrong!

My computer was noisy (like a hoover) and overheating regularly, all yesterday and today. So, living in a city for my studies, I toddled off to the apple store. Apparently my anti-virus software (Sophus) which worked fine on Leopard was not speced for Snow Leopard. It was trying to run and falling, using 100% CPU [or something!] and so deleting it from the My Computer Library solved the problem.

A lengthy tale.

If you have noise (or speed) problems following an up

date to Snow Leopard check to see if you are running any software which cannot work in the new operating system correctly. This may solve your problems.

As a further note to any techs out there, now I have upgraded, even by downloading DIVX for Mac I cannot view embedded divx videos in Safari, only in firefox - what should I do to correct the issue? :-)
