Hi,
A few days ago I installed AOL software on my G4 computer.

After that I could not shout down the computer and therefore I had to plug out.

Problem:
When I turn on my computer again, on the screen only an folder icon is flashing with a question mark and thats it!
The CD still is in the computer and I have tried to take it out manually, but I could not!

Could you please help me!
Many Thanks
Zoe
 
To get the CD out first reboot while holding down the mouse button. This will tell the firmware to eject the CD. Then try these steps to get the Mac going:

1. Try to boot the Mac while holding down the 'option' key'. This will bring up a screen asking you to select the install disk. See if OS X is one of the selections.

2. Hopefully you have an OS X DVD! If you do you can boot with this and the when the first install screen comes up you can go to the Finder Menu items and find Disk Utility. Once you get that going do a repair on the install. See if that helps.

3. Reset your PRAM

If none of these steps help, report back please. Good Luck.
