    I just updated my OSX Version 10.6.8 with the latest update from Apple yesterday. Now i look at the activity monitor and see the Dock using 99% of my memory and the CPU is running at over 170 F.

    If i restart the computer i will also see "Crash Report using up a most of the memory Any Ideas what could be wrong?

    I have attached a copy of the activity monitor so you can see what i mean.

    Any Dock, Finder, or OS modifications or utilities you have installed that might be incompatible?

    Found Parallels to be the problem, deleted it and reinstalled the latest version and now all is well.
