[G4] Crying Uncle!

[John Erdman]

Jim - Thanks for your suggestion.
I have a hard time believing that a serious memory problem developed 
simultaneously with the software update. Up until that time everything  
was working perfectly . Nevertheless I haven't a better idea and I'm 
willing to try anything to avoid a reinstall. What utility are you 
referring to? I can't find anything in my system that looks like a 
hardware test. Is this something I need to down load or perhaps is it 
on the Panther system disk?

  For now I have to start up with my Firewire HD which has the full 
OS10.3.9 on it. Hope this won't make any difference to the test you 
suggest. as the original CD is with my other computer 2 hours away.
