Heya,
First of all thank you for providing this service, it is very much appreciated.
Okay, I first noticed that there was a problem when Preview and Textedit started not to work. What I mean by that is that if I clicked on them in the dock, they would open however I am unable to open any existing files with them. If I try to either open a document or open one by going through the 'open recent' menu the application stops responding. Espicaially when Preview stops responding, then the dock freezes up as well (although after a while, maybe 5 minutes, it comes back to life). I haven't noticed any other programs not working, however windows media player seems not to be able to load anything either. As far as a can tell, this is the extent of it for now.
I've recently installed Adobe CS2 and I was wondering if that might be causing problems, however if it is, it didn't immediately happen after the install. I've tried a virus checker which found some viruses in my Java cache, although they were all zips and so I assume they were for windows or inactive.
I have an eMac running 10.3.9 (I'm not sure what specifics you need here, so tell me if I've left something out), with a 1.25 GHz G4 processor and 512 MB DDR SDRAM.
I think that's everything, and again thank you for your time and assistance.

could you have a look o this help faq
http://thexlab.com/faqs/multipleappsquit.html
and especially the Font section -Adobe install fonts, so maybe this initiates the problem-
How ever, I prefer to repool the question as I do not own any Adobe product.

Had a look at the faq and followed its instructions, unfortunatly it hasn't fixed the problem.
I've uninstalled CS2 now as well, and that hasn't corrected the problem so maybe that wasn't it at all. I have been downloading a hefty share of stuff lately, however I've always made sure that I had at least 2gig free. I dunno, I didn't think Macs could get cluttered like PC's can.
