Thanks for the advice Satcomer; I'll get and run MacJanitor regularly - and I repaired permissions for the first time and indeed, even after my resetting of the plist files, it did find a couple of files to repair! Much obliged and bye bye :)

Thanks Satcomer and Zammy-Sam; I'm up and running again! It did indeed seem to be the plist files. I think it was a problem with the QT plist file. Anyway all's very well now - could not have doen it without you guys, thanks! :D Should I still be looking to regularly repair permissions...

Ok; went home at lunchtime and created a new account. can start up and run safari and the other progs ok now. what next??

Ok, tonight when I get home I'll have a look at my idiot's book and create a new account; cheers etc

Had my IMac running Panther for 4 months now; really great (apart from some early airport problems...) Been away for a couple of weeks, but hit a serious problem yesterday when I returned. (I have broadband & I regularly take all the software updates from Apple.) Normally the Imac sleeps...
