Unhappy Applications disappearing in the applications folder

i have a PBG4 500MHz and my OS is 10.2.4.

Suddenly all the applications in the /Applications disappeared. altough i cannot see them on the finder, they are there, i can lunch them from dock for example. to make them reappear again i have to comment + click (Show in Finder). However if i go to terminal and look into the folder (/Applications) i don't see any applications. when i restart the computer they are all gone again. at the same time, it get really slow in starting up. what is going on?!!

please help!

When you can see your programs, run Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility -> Repair Permissions and see if that helps.

If you can never see the contents of the Applications folder, boot from your OS X install CD (has to be a Jaguar CD) and from the Installer menu at the top, choose Disk Utility and Repair Permissions from there.
