Only clock and power icon on top menu, and no applications start

[macdude4life]

hi all,
I have an iBook g4 that is just totally messed up. The menu bar at the top does not show up except for the right side(sound,clock,power). Also, whenever I click on an application on the dock the icon reacts, but never starts the application.

I wish I could give more information as relates to the specs, but I can't access any services.

Any help/advice/comments will be much appreciated. Thanks.

All I can suggest is to Archive and Install, by booting from your boot disks.
