Dear Wamuggers I am having trouble with my aged G3 iMac and wonder if there are any "easy fixes" please: 1. Disk full message on Outlook Express. Deleted lots of old mail, worked for a while, but now won't boot in OSX. I'm wary of again visiting Classic to delete more because of further issues since this. 2. Scattered desk icons on OSX start-up. Re-sized and re- fonted. 3. Can't print: "Error Printing" box. 4. No History being recorded. 5. Can't put subject into this subject box because Safari quits. This is weird. Is my iMac dying?? Thanks Ros ===================== Hi Ros, You haven't actually mentioned if the disk really is full or not. Full disks can give some odd symptoms but maybe not as odd as your's. If it was almost full, deleting emails may not relieve the problem enough to stop the errors. If it isn't almost full you might consider the prospect of the disk itself beginning to fail causing 'write errors' which might seem like insufficient space to Outlook Express etc, not sure. If you have the OS X CD/DVD you could boot from that and get it to run a disk check/repair, I would repair the permissions while I was there too. BTW it isn't too awful replacing the hard disk in some iMacs.
