hey guys, so i was browsing the net today and a please restart your computer message popped up. i assumed it was because of my coolbook voltages being to low so i restarted it and bumped the settings up. but when i tried using safari again it would not open. a blank page would apprear and that multicolored wheel just keeps spinning. i force quit and try opening it again. same thing. any ideas what i can do before i uninstall my coolbook and take it to the apple store.

thanks
mike

Ah, yes, the pinwheel of death.

I've experienced some troubles with Safari. Sometimes I'll be using it and it'll just fall asleep and I can't close it. It did it on my iMac and both of my Rev A Airs, I've chalked it up to Safari just being Safari. Maybe I'm just spoiled by Chrome on Windows, dunno.

As they'd say in SWG, "Working as intended."
