I upgraded a PowerPC G4 for my daughter. It is running Tiger and recently she received an email from a neighbor that was apparently bad and she began experiencing problems with her email. First, she began receiving about 125 or more email per day that were all trash/spam but still came to her inbox. I tried to pull up the Address Book and see it if was effected but it was totally missing...Gone! I reinstalled Tiger today and the Address Book showed up but not with the regular icon. I has the icon of the Applications folder instead and it won't open. It bounces a couple of times and then nothing. I did a disc utility and all permissions have been checked and repaired but still no proper icon and will not open. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks
 
The OS 10.4 I reinstalled I downloaded and was not given the option of a clean install. I have the original tiger install disc but didn't have it with me today. I will take it next time and use it and see if it helps.
