Hello,
I have recently been having many problems wih my dual 1.25 g4 in os x. When I start it up all seems well, but when I click on an application, the application appears in the dock, but doesnt load, and then the computer freezes with that damned spinning beach ball mouse cursor. This freezing even happens when i click on my hard drive, or even a folder.

Please Help me. Thank you very much in advance

First off, I'd run fsck (File system consistency check) to see what it finds/fixes. To do that, restart holding down command+s (single-user mode) until you get to the command prompt. typet the following:

/sbin/fsck -y

then hit enter. It'll run through some diagnostics and tell you if it finds or modifys any problems. After it finishes, repeat the process until yu get the "file system seems to be ok" message, then type

exit

and hit enter to return o OS X.

If that doesn't take care of the prob, you might need stronger stuff, like DiskWarrior.

Newuser -

Do you know what hard drive you have? If it's the stock drive (which I believe is an IBM Deskstar) you may be in trouble and in need of the aforementions "Diskwarrior".

Chris is right though...try fsck-y first and tell us how it goes.
