So a few days ago my G4 slowed way down. I restarted it, which took about 10 minutes for the screen to load. No icons for the folders show up... Just the names... Any and all help is appreciated... I made a new user and that is slow too...

How much free space do you have? Possibly might be the hard drive on the way out.

I deleted the other accounts and am using a brand new one so I expect there should be a lot of free space.
