Whenever I go to turn it on I get a message saying to start with the extensions off. When I turn the extensions off it frezes. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

Boot from the install CD that came with your iMac. Just in case you didn't know, this is donw by inserting the CD then starting up while holding down the "C" key on the keyboard.

after doing this, you may need to restore your system...
to do this, double click the "restore" icon (i think thats what it is...)

I did that and I got rid of all the extensions that I had installed recently. Still the same problem.

Ok, then run the MacOS installer on the CD. Click the option button during the install to perform a clean install. Then reboot and eject the CD.

If I do a clean install will anything happen to the files I have on my computer? And also will that affect Mac OS X PB?

Nope, if you do a clean install you will get a brand-spankin new System Folder and the old one will be renamed. You will have to reinstall any extensions or control panels you added but be careful with those since that might be where your problems first arose.

Thanks for your help. I did a clean install and it seems to be running great.
