[G4] Jaguar - many apps fail to start - unexpected quit

[Brian Conner]

In System Preferences, it should be in the System row of Prefs. In my setup,
it's the first icon in the row, next to Classic. But if you've got 6 icons
for keyboard, maybe you right about the Clean Install idea. Sounds like your
system has problems.

You might want to backup all your data files and other needful things, and
start from scratch with a new install. Maybe start with a fresh
initialization of your boot drive.

It's good to do that from time to time anyway.

Sorry, I'm trying to folow along here as my system is buggy too. In fact, my
preferences are buggy. I've lost acess to Classic and I've got 6 icons for
Keyboard.

Anyway, perhaps that is where my problems lay. When I go preferences> I
don't have an option for accounts, just My Account. Clicking My Acoount
doesn't give me the option to creat new users. Am I missing an Accounts
icon? Should I just proceed to stage 2: drag thing? Clean install?

Thanks,
Todd
