I've never had this before - I quit iTunes, went up to Spotlight and the whole screen went stripey. The cursor still moved but nothing would happen, so I had to restart.

Same thing happened on restart.

I've scanned the hard drive and verified permissions. There were some dodgy permissions on iTunes, so after fixing them, all seems well so far.

I've never come across a complete system crash before. It looks like repairing permissions might actually have an effect, despite what some websites have you believe.

Update - it's just done it again. This time I can carry on as normal and it's just the desktop picture that's being replaced with stripes.

Any ideas what's up? I've got iTunes 7.3.1, Quark 7.1, Entourage 04, Photoshop CS3 and Safari beta open.

Figured it out - Quark 7 wrecks things when it starts up. I'll have to reinstall.

Piece of junk.
