I was able to install Tiger 10.4 from the disk from eBay and everything still worked. The upgrades that I downloaded from Apple are what did me in. Maybe changing out the hard drive should be my next step since the one that is there could not be repaired.

Thanks for replying. I don't have the original software. I bought system 4.0 from ebay and installed it. In my haste, I installed over what was there.

Worse yet I cannot find the system software I purchased for this machine. I haven't got a clue what happened to it.

iMac G4 700MHz
I know this computer is very old (snowball), but I just need one for my autistic grandson to use in his room. I just wanted to get him on-line and off my computer watching Barney. So, I started installing updates to get to Mac OS X 10.4.11 and use TenForFox, or at least try to get him on Youtube. Everything went well until the 10.4.3 update, then black screen and cursor only after start-up. I had previously used the 10.4.2 combo update. Tried to start in "safe mode" but things got worse. Now it won't complete the boot and just shuts down. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I feel like I really got close and I just don't want to give up just yet.
