Many thanks Robert,Peter & David.Will try these fixes when wifey
returns and I can get her to log in to her user (Don't know her
password!)
Now here's a thing! I've tried logging in with my user/account and
the machine works just fine!. Is there a message in that??? I don't
have a Combo update disc but I'm just now downloading the update .
(600+ megs)! Hope it works!

Emac G4 1ghz running Leopard 10.5
Bought this computer about a month ago. Computer is in excellent
nick and has been running perfectly. My wife installed a system
update at the weekend (Auto Update)
Auto System update does seem to cause trouble for a number of people .
Obtaining and running the OSX Combo update for that version does clear
lot's of problems .
I only ever use the combo updates because they make a better job of
getting everything right

Now the finder won't load (Endless spinning wheel),No folders or
disc images onscreen-only desktop picture. Have tried repairing
permissions (Can only access disc utility via spotlight) The dock
shows but does not activate anything except Dashboard. Spotlight
indicates that all wife's folders and files are there. Zapped the
PRAM - tried repairing permissions via disc utility on my Tiger
install disc all to no avail. Am contemplating archiving Leopard
and installing Tiger instead but am concerned about losing wifes
folders and files.
CAN ANYONE HELP?
