Non-Apple apps don't work

Dear all,

This puzzles me: I upgraded my G4 800Mhz iMac from OS X 10.2 to 10.2.8 and installed the two current security upgrades listed by Software Update. I forgot to repair permissions before starting. Yes, I know. Mea culpa. When I got through with the upgrades only the Apple applications would run. None of the MS stuff, Retrospect, or anything other than apple apps would boot. The icon bounced a few times in the dock then nothing. I tried permissions, repairing the drive with Drive 10, different account, ran OnyX over it….still no non-Apple apps.

Can anybody explain this?

If I upgrade again (I would like to bring it to 10.2.8) will I get the same odd thing?

Any help appreciated.

James
