hi all,

I have an iBook G4 purchased in August 2004.
It runs on OSX Panther 10.3.3.

Problem is, OSX now seems corrupt for some reason. The Mac help menu just goes blank when accessed, no info displayed. Also other OSX applications' help menus -ie iTunes, iPhoto- suffer from this.
Also, when Safari crashes for example, even the button to send the crash
info to Apple via the popup window does not work, the window just disappears.

I attempted a clean install-erase and install option from the OSX installation cd menu-to clean the disk completely for a fresh install.
I attempted this more than once, but it seems to have the same problem every time just after a few uses of the OS, even when updating to 10.3.9 from 10.3.3.

Is this just a bad install that simply needs to ne reinstalled? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

or maybe there's a hardware failure cause if you say you re-installed panther there's gotta be something failing with the laptop
