I installed Jaguar upgrade from 10.1.5 on a top of the line 15 inch iMac with loads of memory. Unplugged all peripherals before I started.
Installation went without a hitch and computer restarted after both disks were finished loading. I saw the apple icon and the task bar showed startup was occurring.
However, at the end, I see the background pattern of the desktop and the only other things appearing are icons for the clock, sound, and modem in the upper right hand corner.No desktop icons, taskbar, or dock is visible. Scrolling over their intended locations does nothing.

The computer goes into screensaver mode after a time and when I press the mouse button, I see a split second of the taskbar along the top but then all I see is the background, as well as the sound, time, and modem icons in the top right corner of the screen.

Any suggestions,

Thanks

Have you tried a Finder Relaunch?

And, in case you don'e already know:

It's the force-quit keyboard shortcut (Command-Control-esc or is it command-option-esc--I am not at my mac, and I can't keep them straight). Select Finder and click on relaunch.

That might do it.

Had to reinstall without saving user data from prior system. Seems that user data got corrupted somehow in the process.

I now have a similar problem, the computer boots fine through the Big Apple picture than the MacOS X loading **** window and then when that disappears all I have is a blue screen that flickers and changes its shade every so often. The mouse pointer is there and is active but that is all.........
