Possibly unfreeze a process with Activity Monitor
Authored by: johnsawyercjs on Mar 19, '08 07:36:21PM

I've reset my dual G4 Mirrored Drive Doors' PRAM/NVRAM/Open Firmware several times recently, to see if it would help the type of freezing problems I've been seeing in a variety of apps for several months, which started for me under OS 10.4.x, and continues under OS 10.5, but it hasn't helped. That's not to say it wouldn't help some other freezing app/process, but not the ones I'm seeing on my Mac. My hard drives have no directory damage or bad blocks, as well as having all the usual maintenance (cache cleaning, etc.), so something else is going on. I'll have to try this hint, even if it means leaving Activity Monitor open all the time, even though it eats up about 20% of the processing of one of my Mac's processors. It makes me glad my Mac has two of them, though I could really use at least four.
