I am using a G4 IMac Flat screen running 10.3.9 I have been using Macs back to OS 5 and I have never experienced any thing like this.
I was copying some photos (about 150) from a folder to a CDR to archive when I hesitated for a nano second they got copied to my desktop I was able to hit the stop button in the progress box but that just crashed my system and gave me the spinning wheel until I had to turn the computer power off. All my applications work fine except the finder. In finder anything I select on my desktop does nothing, anything I select in the Menu bar just gives me a brief spinning wheel. If I’m in an application I can go to Logout and log in as a different user, the finder in that user acts normal. It appears that all of my contents are intact it’s just the finder in the administrator is choking on the many icons on the desk top, but will not let me select any of them to throw away. Is there some mode I can boot up in to clean up my desk top or solve this issue? Help
