Hang at "Login Window Starting"

[loti]

I hope someone can help. I was in the middle of applying some system updates to my Mac G4, running panther, when the power went out. Upon reboot, it hangs at "Login Window Starting". Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

After updating to 10.3.2 the login window starting took for ever, i did the boot time hack that someone else posted a while ago. try searching for boot time or something to find that thread.

Unless you mean that you computer completely hangs up and wont go any further.

Boot from your Panther install CD and do an Archive and Install (it will be under the "Customize..." button, right after the license agreement I believe). You probably have a corrupted system since the computer was interrupted while it was updating your OS.
