[G4] Crying Uncle!

[John Erdman]

Jim - Still working on this. Booted up from my FW drive, repaired 
permissions on my main drive w/ Disk Utility. But alas no joy. Same 
symptoms. I'll try the hardware test this weekend after I get my 
original install disk.

I downloaded the QT reinstaller 
(QuickTime_6.5.2_ReInstaller_for7.0.1.dmg) but unforntunately it won't 
let me de-install QT on my main drive. I got a message that it is only 
good for deinstallig QT on the boot disk. So that appears to be a dead 
end too.

I seem to recall the 10.3.9 update problems but I can't remember 
details. I'll have to spend some time at the Apple support site.

Thanks for your help so far.

Cheers,

John
