little green rosetta
Hello all. Long time no see.
I'm running 10.4.11 on a 17" iMac g5. A couple of days ago it froze and on restart I got an orange screen (never seen that before) and then nothing. A couple more restarts got slightly further, at least as far as my wallpaper loading, then blue screen.
I've gone in on the boot disk and checked everything and got a green light.
I've also gone in on safe mode and run Onyx - everything fine.
There seems, therefore, to be a problem with a start up item, but only being able to go in on safe mode, how do I know which one? Obviously I can't disable them in safe mode because they're not enabled.
[EDIT - I've set up a new admin account while in safe mode, but still get no further than the blue screen on restart]
All help welcome. Thanks,
Nick
