I wonder if anyone can please help me.

I own Final Cut Studio and everything was running perfectly for several months until recently.

My copy of Final Cut Pro 7 started running very very slowly, even the drop down menus (file, edit e.t.c) would take several seconds to open and would be delayed to the point of being unusable. The effect is such that even upon quitting the program the entire Mac runs too slowly to operate and requires a hard restart.

After restarting the computer returns to it's usual speed until Final Cut is opened again.

I went to the Apple Store and they told me to reinstall the program and free up some space on my computer, both of which I've just done but to no avail.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I'm desperate for help as I need this software for my degree. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


I'm using a Mac Book Pro running Leopard, with 41. 68 GB of free space and my copy of Final Cut is legit.
