"not Responding"

[draf]

I'm running on 10.3.9 and am having big problems with Safari, Mail, Address Book and Installer.

Each time I try to open any of these programs (or try to upgrade with a Version Tracker or Apple.com file), I get a message that the program is "not responding" and the program will never open.


please help

I know it sounds generic (it is), but try repairing permissions (Disk Utility).

I couldn't even open the disk utility either.

I've re-loaded system 10.3.9.

all is working for now, but I've lost all address and emails from my old files.

I did not do a clean install, so all my other files are still intact.

I'll add another post asking about how to retreive address, etc.


thanks

You can try using the Disk Utility that's on the installation DVD for Panther. Boot from the CD and try that.

thanks, I'll see what happens.
