3 problems with my MacBook:
1. all of a sudden when I double click on a file to open it nothing happens; I can still open it by using command-open but I don't know why hitting the space bar no longer works
2. my cursor seems to have a mind of its own: when I go to select something, it selects more than I choose and then won't let go of it
3. my icons on the bottom (where I choose my applications like firefox or photoshop or mail) have changed their arrangement on their own which is scaring me combined with the other two sudden problems
4. once, for a second, the screen went dark for no reason but then lit up again
Since I bought my MacBook less than six months ago, I have had to send it in and have the hard drive replaced (that was the first month); last month, the screen went completely dark and at the Mac Store they reconnected a cable that had come loose.
I am now very nervous about using it and fear something worse is about to occur since the above four items all occurred in the last hour.
I am a devoted Mac user and yet I am for the first time no longer confident I can depend on my computer. Any advice will be welcome.
I have run disk utilities twice and it says everything is okay. Then again, it no longer show me all the permissions it is fixing as it used to: it just goes through its thing and at the end, says all is fine.
Help!
