[G4] Apple applications not responding

[David Russell]

Hi Greg,

Thank you for the advice. Fortunately, I don't have a disk space 
problem. What I did have was a font problem. I guess I should have 
googled the problem before posting to the list because when I did I 
found loads of forums referring to this. The day before the problem 
occurred I had installed some fonts and it was one of these that was 
causing the problem. To solve it I moved all of my non-standard fonts 
out of the fonts folder and onto my desktop.

David

Hello David

This is a long shot, but do you have plenty of spare hard drive
capacity?

I had this problem a couple of years ago and it turned out to be a
lack of spare HD space on the system drive. The space was needed for
the memory manager (formerly virtual memory on pre OSX).

You need about 2 gig spare as a minimum. There was an Apple knowledge
base article about this, but I have forgotten the details.

When I cleaned out my HD, everything went back to normal including
the missing mail.


Regards

Greg Manzie
