I did something pretty dumb. I'm not sure exactly what I trashed, but in an effort to speed my computer up a bit and get rid of files I have not used for years, I trashed some items from my system library.
I have a non-Intel iMac running 10.4.11.
The most interesting and obvious sign that something is wrong is that the language in my browser URL window (I use Firefox) is now is meaningless symbols. Also, any preference boxes in Firefox display the same meaningless junk.
I can't open Eudora because I get an error message saying there is insufficient memory, which has never happened before (I have 2 GB of RAM). And when I reboot, I get a dialogue box saying something about a run time error, giving me a choice of reporting it or quiting. Quiting gets me at least to a somewhat normal looking desktop., but every icon on my desktop is unmoveable and can't be opened. My hard drive icon does not appear on the desktop.
Is there any way to fix this? Since it appears to be a faulty OS, would upgrading to Leopard help?
Thank you very much.
