My computer is about to crash

[matrixpress]

I have Dual 1.8 GHZ Power PC G5 with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, with OSX version 10.4.11.

My computer has been getting increasingly crazy over the past couples weeks. I'm even having trouble typing this because the screen occasionally "flashes" or "jumps" when I'm in the middle of a task.

I noticed the problem first when I would make a new folder. After an untitled folder was made, when I would try to give the folder a new name, the screen "jumped" and I would have to try several times before I could complete the task.

Today, it's doing this with almost every task and I think I'm about to lose all my files.

Help! Please. about to crash

It sounds a bit like you have a folder action script attached to the folder.

Open "/Applications/AppleScript/Folder Action Setup" and see if it lists any folders with actions.
