iMac G3 450mHz, running Tiger 10.4.9.
My brothers using this - he set it up to log in automatically, but when he switches it on it comes up with the log in window. Typing in his username and password results in the shaking head 'no'. When he clicks the restart button it starts to shut down, gets to the blank screen and then hangs. He has to hold the power button in for a few seconds.
This process is repeated 2 or 3 times before it just starts up normally. But it always hangs on shut down and has to be forced to switch off.
I've already repaired permissions and trawled for a possible solution but haven't managed to find one yet. Any ideas?
