Hi all,

I'm having this problem. Whenever I launched safari, The safari inside the dock showed it's been launched. But I dun hav the safari browser on the desktop. Same for mail, Mac Help. I tried using Panther caches cleaner. After deleting the caches. it works. But after i finish my work or surfing i shut it down. the next time when I on the powerbook. The same thing happened. I even try using techtool pro to do help. But still can;t solve this pro. Anyone encounter similar problem. thanks. If not i guess i'll have to re-install the whole OS.

The dock shows the apps running, but do you need to force quit the appications? I had a similar problem (with Safari, Address book, Disk Utility, and various control panels), and it turned out to be a font issue. Try opening Fontbook and disabling the fonts in the OS9 collection. Then try Safari again and see if it launches. If it does, there is a problem with duplicate or corrupt fonts. Hope this helps!

Try downloading Onyx form MacUpdate. and optimize the system or something. perhaps repair permissions.
