So, in the past few weeks, both my Macs have been giving me trouble. Here's a list of the issues (specs for the machines are in my sig):

1) No working Classic on my G4. (see this link; https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/135255/)

2) TabletDriver "Unexpectedly Quits," Wacom mouse gets all slow, as does Ink.

3) Network issues. My internet is working fine (on both computers), but I can't connect to the other computer (G3 won't recognize to the G4; the G4 doesn't recognize the G3). In Finder, the server is ghosted. I have a router (wired) that's connected to my modem on my G4, and a CAT-5 running down to the G3. I have Sharing tuned on on the G3, but my G4 won't let me turn it on. I click "Start Sharing" and nothing happens even with the box (after clicking, it still says "Start Sharing," as if I didn't select it).

4) Finder freeze ups on the G4... Much more then a few weeks ago. My CPU is running at very high load (75% right now, with just Safari).

Memory usage seems a bit high too. However, if I open PS, iTunes, Safari, etc, I don't bog down the computer, so it's giving me conflicting "reports" per-say.


That's about it for now. I have tried Repairing Permissions, restarted at least 5 times, reset my router, and disconnected external devices (such as the Tablet). Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.
