First let me state that I am completely new and pretty ignorant when it comes to Macs. I encountered my problem, when I was establishing a connection between my PC and my mother's Power Mac G3 running OS X. I was in the Accounts menu and it started freezing up on me, after I created a new account. So I decided to restart the Mac, once I restarted it, it took me to the regular grey screen with the Apple and the disk started spinning, for an unusually long time. Finally it went into the Loading moad, where it loaded several programs including a display of Welcome to mac message, all with no problems.
And then the horror began, it took me to a completely clean desktop with a regular Mac wallpaper (blue with white lines brushed across the screen) with absolutely nothing on it. And I mean nothing, it is blank, completely blank!!!!! There it said not moving with nothing to work with, I can't begin to tell you how many times I restarted the system, pressing SHIFT to log into the safe mode all to no avail, with the same destiny of a blank desktop. And now I don't know what else to do. What could be the cause of it?
I also booted the MAC with Norton Utils, it desplayed some error messages with a mention of incorrect data logical length and relating to the file record in the catalog b-tree and the bundle bits. Searching for this info I still haven't found anything relating to the problems. By the way, when I loaded into Utils, I can see all of the files and the HD, so I am totally lost and confused. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THE PROBLEM?
Any ideas, suggestions, solutions, anything???? Please help!!!!!!!!
