[G4] Cursor Freezing

[Tony Johansen]

My cursor has frozen 3 times in 2 days. First cursor freezes in 2 years.
Force quiting makes no difference. Can only get out of it by shutting the
machine down via the exterior button which I know can't be good for things.

Seems to be no pattern as to what is on the desktop at the time (although it
does have a lot of files stored on the desk top, but no more than usual for
last few weeks) other than Safari being open each time (and the last time it
was the only program open other than Finder itself.

I ran repair permissions from DiskUtility for the OS X partition. (although
I never know what I should do for maintenance with the OS 9 partition.
However I never go into OS 9 and only have my iTunes library stored there.

How do I go about trouble shooting this issue and can Safari itself be the
cause? Can Finder develop this problem? What are the other possibilities?
How can I go about dealing with this issue?

Thanks in advance for any help.
