We have a G4 that is freezing on start up all of a sudden. Tiger OS I think.
Bought second hand a few months back and it came loaded with loads of apps. No cds. (We do have imac with snow leopard cd and also macbook with snow leopard cd.)
It's been running very slow and yesterday we installed cache x or some similar sounding name to clean it up. It's crashed on start up since then, although it worked fine immediately after installing while it was still switched on.
Now it freezes once you enter the password on log in and the rainbow twirly spins endlessly.
Tried the command prompt ( not sure what that does but tried it) and it showed the hard drive but when you click on it nothing happens.
Any ideas? If we needed to instal a cd how would we do that when everyhting's frozen up ?
thank you.
