Hi there. My Dual Proc. G4 with OSX 10.3.4 has been fine. Suddenly, when I go to sleep mode, it goes to sleep and immediately wakes itself up again (it won't sleep). And when I shut it down, it will boot itself back up some time later. Anyone ever experienced this before?

Me too! Resets to December 31, 1969, and I have a new machine that had no problem with the date until yesterday's upgrade!

Hi supergeeks. I have a Dual Proc. G4 about 3 mo. old (OSX 10.2.3) and just attached a new Viewsonic 175B flat screen monitor at its preferred 85 Mhz. Works great. Only thing is, my machine won't shut down anymore. I turn it off or put it to sleep, it revs down (however you say it), and...

Thank you Oldfogey and KSV! You both saved my ass. The unmovable files were piling up. Now I know what's up and how to fix that. :-) !!!!
