Long time windows user and first time mac user. I got a g5 simply becasue after doing research it just made sense.
In anycase i have a problem that I thought was a virus, until after reading the virus sticky that revealed it not to be true. Now I'm all kinds of confused.
Here's the situation:
Certain programs such as macromedia studios, safaria, internet explorer, and office I would open and then a message such as "unexpected error" would appear and the programs would close. I would then create a seperate user account where they would work for a month or so until finally the same problem would creep up on that accoutn and I would continue.
My neglectful ways, as you all know simply by me existing in this forum, did catch up with me. One day I turned the computer off (an action I seldom partake in) and I turned it back on to see no login screen.
Usually there would be a login screen asking for a username and password. But this time it did not appear. There was just blue.
I have no idea how to fix this problem and am currently working from my laptop (which cant handle the task heavy demands that I set forth) and I desperately need to get back on the g5 for it has a clients website.
How would I go about fixing this problem?
And furthermore, what books should I read to learn how to fix macs?
