I think you may have a corrupted font. Probably a Microsoft font that loads with Office or word. Run Font Doctor or a similar utility; Otherwise you must de-install all but the system fonts and ad them back a few at a time over several days until the issue comes back. Assuming the de-install fixed the issue. Roger On May 27, 2005, at 10:40 AM, Linda S. wrote: > Hi, > My Sawtooth G4 freezes often and I have to hard shut down it.
