Arround the time i swapped out my 350mhz processor in my agp sawtooth to a 500mhz agp sawtooth mac g4 server processor i think my restart, logout, shutdown selections in my apple menu stoped working. right now i use terminal to do reboots but i believe its basicly pretty much force quiting, anybody know what i can do to put my apple menu restart/shutdown/logout selections back into play with out re-installing osx, by the way my comp is

g4 500mhz,
200GB of HD space,
1.12GB of Ram

Well, do you know if you're upgrade card is fully compatible with 10.3.2? See if the company that made your processor upgrade has a troubleshooting forum or FAQ.

Try reinstalling the OS on another partition, if possible. Try an earlier version of OS X (Jaguar?) and see if that works.

Repair permissions, run fsck, delete caches. The usual troubleshooting procedures.

Alternatively, go here and start reading:

This is a rare issue, one which I have only read about a couple of times. Try searching the forum for it; I know someone brought it up here.
