Panther finder corruption?

[Mudbug]

I took a screen shot to help illustrate, but in the menu bar at the top, the word "finder" is reduced to a simple "n"... I haven't done any kind of hacks or anything weird to this machine, and haven't noticed any problems OTHER than this... so I just really wonder if anyone else has seen this/know how to fix it.

I have had odd things happen to the finder like random menus disapering and or stop working. Has a simple restart fixed it? If that doesn't work, try resetting the computer.

What's resetting the computer? I'm still on Jag 'till 10.3.3 comes out, so is that a Panther option?

Resetting the power mangaer is available in all systems and it essential resets the power. Here, ill let apple explain it...http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449

Actually, resetiing the power manager is totaly unrelated to what Mudbug is talking about, but it is worth a shot if nothing else works...

nah, haven't got to the PMU reset yet - I figured it was something much more simple than that. A logout/login fixes it for a while, but then it starts back up after a bit. Like I said, this seems to have no lasting impact on the machine other than this one bit of weirdness, so really, at the moment it's just a cosmetics thing.

Hmm... well im stumped. You could try going to apple's panther supprot/discussion page (http://discussions.info.apple.com/). Good luck.
