Whilst using my ibook G4, Firefox crashed on me, then in turn the whole computer crashed. This has happened to me before and a simple reboot solved the problem.
This time the when the computer restarted not all the of the toolbar on the right hand side loaded. There are now only two icons of after market applications that I downloaded, there is no battery or wireless meter etc.
When I clicked on my programs they would bounce a couple of times and then stop. The only programs that work are Safari, Preview, Dashboard and System Preferences.
The home desktop does not work and I am unable to drag and save any pictures onto it and my hard drive and any pictures that are saved are not visible. I am able to view files through preview but i can not gain anymore access to them.
I bought the computer off a friend and so have not got any of the reboot disks, I did recently purchase the 4 Software Restore disks but I am not able to access the files because this is one of the faults on the computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I hope this makes some sense.
Thanks again
Nick
