Hi- I am trying to create a new user account so that I can see if some of the issues I am having with my G4 Mac also are issues under a different account. I have (several times) created a new account and assigned a password and also tried having no password. Either logging out or using Fast User Switching, I click on the new user icon and either type in the password (I know I have it correct since it's my default password) or not type it in if I have no password set, and click on login. That's when I get the shaking window. No matter what I do, I can't login!! I am at a loss of what to do or what could be causing this. Any help will make me a happy Mac user again! Judy
PS- After I had this problem surface, I ran Monoligual and got rid of lots of language support and I also ran Font Nuke to clean out some font caches.... but these were run after I had problems setting up a new user account. I was having issues with the new upgrade for my genealogy program, Reunion (still having issues actually-they can't figure out what's causing the problem) and I removed some "things" from Login Items. Can't tell you what they were but I have some there still. I ran Disk Warrior and iDefrag also recently. Also have repaired permissions. The other issue I had (yesterday anyway-haven't used it much today yet) is that Safari was crashing when I was accessing my public library's online catalog............. I don't know if any of these are related to my inability to create a new user account or not but thought I'd throw that into the mix.
