why has my iMac slowed after updating to snow leopard?
I'm not that great with the computer language so I need some 'for dummies' help. I upgraded my iMac with the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and now it is slow as molasses. I do have time machine hooked up to it but don't know how to use it. I'm a retired stay at home mom (all the kids left the nest) so I have been learning things as I go but seem to be stuck in time with this one. I did read that people have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it a certain way, but that's where I get lost. I don't know how to do that without getting nervous that I'm going to loose data. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.1)
