Matthew,
It sounds like something did not get installed correctly.
Insert the Panther Cd, restart the computer and immediately hold down the C key.
Before clicking on the installer screen, go to the Installer menu and select Disk Utility.
Click on the second hard drive icon in the side bar, then click on Repair Disk.
Watch the activity screen. If it does any repairs - you will need to click on the Repair Disk button a second time after the first pass is done. The object is to make sure it finds all the problems and repairs them. You may need to hit that button a third or fourth time to get no references to repairs made.
Now click on Repair Permissions. When done, quit Disk Utility.
Select your language. The Welcome to the Mac OS X Installer window appears.
Click Continue. The Important Information window appears.
After reading or printing the information, click Continue. The Software License Agreement window appears.
After reading or printing the information, click Continue.
An agreement sheet appears. If you agree with the license agreement, click Agree. The Select a Destination window appears.
Click the volume that you wish to install to.
Click Options. The installation options sheet appears.
Select Archive and Install.
Select the volume which already has Mac OS X installed.
You should also select Preserve Users and Network Settings, to preserve network and Home directory settings.
Click OK.
Click Continue to begin the installation.
After restart, go to the Utilities folder and start up Disk Utility to repair permissions.
You will have a new System folder and a Previous system folder. In the Previous system folder>Library (not Library in System folder - the one sitting by itself) is a folder named Receipts. You need to compare that folder with the new Hard Drive>Library>Receipts folder. Just drag and drop The packages that are not in the newer folder.
Also in the Library folder check the Application Support folder and compare that with your newer folder as well as Contextual Menu Items, Fonts, Internet Plugins, Mail, and Mozilla (if you have it).
Once compared, you can trash the entire Previous System folder.
Now y0u can install the updates to the OS.

You will need to run Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then use Software Update from the system preferences to get the Java update and security updates.
You should be all set now.

Let me know if you need further assistance and thank you for using MacOSX.com !
