[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 409567"] I once dropped by mistake a whole huge folder-full of files on my pre-OS X Mac and it did cause problems, like since it isn't multi-tasking like OS X it couldn't handle the overload. Might be a problem. If you can't go anywhere with this, maybe the only solution would be a reinstall. It's been a long time ago, but I do remember Extension conflicts could create havock as well. I remember also the equivalent of OS X's Safe boot (disables all control panels and extensions) which was holding down the [I]Shift[/I] key at startup. Might help you go further along and reach the desktop somehow: in which case you might create a folder and dump the bijillion files in it and see where this leads you. I also know that in some PowerMac G4s the battery going bad messes up the computer pretty bad. I am wondering if this is the case here. Does the Mac keep the date and time well? Too bad Mac SK and Browny aren't around: they're great with OS 9 knowledge... [/QUOTE]
