[G4] Upgraded to 10.4.10 and now it won't shut down

[JayB]

Maybe I'm missing something?
I've been running Panther .3.9.   I installed Tiger from DVD, then  
updated via the 10.4.10 download from Apple.  What part of that is  
unusual?

If you are suggesting the first thing I should do is start from  
scratch - format, install clean and re-install all my software and  
configurations.....  geez, no thanks.  I was hoping for a bit less  
drastic (and maybe less than 12 hrs of work re-installing and  
configuring all the apps).  I mean, sure, - that last resort is  
ALWAYS available- and if all you are using the machine for is fun and  
games- no big.

I'll stand by and see if there might be any less drastic  
countermeasures suggested.
