[QUOTE="jenn, post: 258766"] Devilboy, the link you provided solved the problem right away. I was even able to walk my mom through it over the phone just now and she's elated! I thought this was going to be some huge headache! THANKS SO MUCH! From the link: You see an empty, blue screen. You might also see a progress indicator, which looks like a colored pinwheel or spinning disc There are several different things you can try to fix this symptom. Go through each of them one by one until you find the solution. Some of them are advanced techniques, but give them a try. [...] An incompatible login item could cause this symptom. For Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, start up in Safe Mode. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences. From the View menu, choose Accounts then click Startup Items. In Mac OS X 10.2, choose Login Items from the View menu. Select all the login items and click Remove. From the Apple menu, choose Restart. If this resolves the issue, add the login items one at a time until the symptom occurs again. That way you'll know which one is incompatible. Repeat these steps and remove the incompatible item.
