Mac OSX desktop problems

Hi to all:
OK here it goes. I have a G3, Blue and White with OSX (10.2.8) on a separate HD. When attempting to burn a CD using Toast the window appeared and normally the window could be moved to a corner, right? When attempting to move the window it collapsed to the dock. ITunes window reacted the same way. The window would not allow to be scaled down in size. Other weird thing is that I cannot select any item from the Apple Menu as the items appear then vanish when the cursor is dragged over them.

This may be related or totally unrelated but whem I am in OS9 the cursor has turned from the arrow into a small box with the number 11 in it.

Weird OS vibes about.

Help!!!!
 
Repair Permissions via Disk Utility and throw away com.apple.finder.plist (it's in your user folder's Library, in the Preferences folder)

log out and back in, see what happens.

It seems to me your OS9 error is unrelated.... though strange.
 
ra3ndy: The information is appreciated. For the OS9 problem I still have to use the Disk Utility.

Thanks. Will post a reply soon...
 
Try zapping the PRAM by holding down Command-Option-P-R after the startup chime.

You can also rebuild the desktop (when booting into OS 9) by holding down Command-Option once you see the Mac OS 9 welcome screen. Keep it held down until you get prompted to rebuild the desktop. That should hopefully fix it.
