Does aanyone know of anything I can do to restore my ability to allow
me to force a shutdown/restart on my iMac G4 1.25 running Tiger? I lost
the ability months ago (the OS kills all apps but sits at a solid colour background,no dock or menu forever). 

Go into /Library/StartupItems and throw everything away. See if that
helps. When I have similar problems it is always due to a bad
StartupItems entry. m.


Good idea
Should I create a backup of this folder first?
Much appreciated.
