Font Book hang, Pacifist, crash, now blue screen, no login...please help!
Hi everybody,
I have a friend's iBook G4 that had a problem with Font Book hanging, she had installed some fonts that caused this problem. I found support thread that suggested using Pacifist to re-install the fonts from the install dvd. This seemed to be working fine, but then Pacifist crashed in the middle of this process. Now when starting the iBook, the screen is blue and there is no login screen.
I have tried booting in Safe Mode but it has the same results. I have run Disk Repair and Repair Permissions from the install disc, but this hasn't changed anything.
Can someone here offer any suggestions as what my next move may be? I'm not opposed to reinstalling the OS, but will this mean that all her (paid for third party programs) will be lost?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I know I've gotten in over my head on this, but I'm trying to fix my stupid mistake;)
