My Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz, running Panther with all updates, suddenly cannot get past the "Login Window Starting" screen during startup.
Just before this happened, I had noticed the computer getting a little sluggish. I ran Disk Utility and repaired permissions, which seemed to go just fine. I then restarted.
Now the startup procedure seems to run fine, and the startup window runs through its usual messages, until it gets to "Login Window Starting", and gets no further. The mouse still responds, and I can hit the power button to get the shutdown window. But that's it.
I've tried restarting while holding down the Shift key, but the results are exactly the same (with the words "Safe Boot" added to the startup window.)
I'm on the road at the moment. Do I need to have my Panther software disks sent to me? Are there any other possible solutions? Any ideas much appreciated.
