[iBook] strange Safari behaviour

[Angus Wallace]

Hi all,

looking for advice.

I have an ibook (G4, 14", 1GHz) with two user accounts on it, running 
an up-to-date installation of Panther.

On one of the accounts, Safari works fine, but on the other, it doesn't 
work*. On the latter account, however, Internet Explorer works fine.

This seems a little strange to me, and I couldn't find any 
user-specific preferences for Safari in the home directory. Any 
suggestions?


*This is a simplification. The homepage to which it was set (a web 
page) would work, but other pages don't. Setting www.google.com as the 
home page didn't work either. This makes me think it's referring to a 
previously cached copy of that page.

Also, this same computer has what I think is a hardware problem. when 
asleep, it gets hot. When it's awakened, the screen stays black, and a 
forced-reboot is required (<ctrl><apple><power>). I think the two 
problems are unrelated, but is this a documented problem?

Cheers, in advance,
-Angus
