    Upgrade from 10.3?

    I've reformatted the hd, installed 10.3 and I'm back up and running. I need to reinstall Adobe CS3, but need at least 10.4 to run it.

    Powerbook G4 (17" 1.67 gHz)

    Just recently, my powerbook has been freezing after startup. After logging in, Finder is taking a very long time to launch and as soon as I try to open Finder windows or applications, it freezes up and wont allow me to force quit anything.
