Excellent, this helped my find the little culprits, I have to get home to the offending computer to see how to delete or turn these things off. Thank Ben and Birnou

In Activity Monitor, select CPU from the options at the top. Then type Safari in the search field at the top-right. You should then be able to force quite the problem services by selecting each one and clicking the X icon at the top-left (just under the red close button).

Dear Adobe, you hide your chat and phone, defaulting to this inadequate forum, then you don't answer. I posted at 5:15 it is now 9:30. Maybe those Safari programs are the bugs that made me switch to Firefox, I don't use Safari any longer.

This is a user2user forum. Calling this an inadequate forum reflects back on the regulars who try to help their peers. Not a good start.

Now back to business, if you go to the task manager, you will see which (background) programs are running. From there, you will be able to terminate them.

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

I apologize to the volunteers, and pardon my frustration, I am trying to rush to get my computer fixed before I enter radiation treatment and chemo therapy, at witch time I likely will be living with a computer that needs to be rebooted 5 times per day because of old programs I can't expunge from the hard drive.

Adobe made all their help options be narrowed down to one they don't have to participate in (this forum), one of the reasons I hate Adobe with all my heart. To bad we are hostage to their products and they know it.

I am on a mac and I couldn't find task manager with a (help search) Since my original post I uninstalled all the cs5 programs but one "Adobe Media Encoder. " Adobe Media Encoder also doesn't have an uninstall feature and I have uninstalled all the programs that do. I guess the only way I can get rid of Adobe Media Encoder is to put it in the trash and I suspect that won't get rid of the pesky safari widgets that wouldn't allow the uninstall.

But then, maybe it is those (backgroud) programs that are making my computer crash instead of my cs5 programs I really didn't want to get rid of anyway
