ImageJ Does NOT work on my Mac

James Funderburgh
I have a dual 1.8 G5 Mac with OS x10.4.3   4 gig java 1.42_09 and 1.5.  All versions of image J open
and will open an image file and process it but after closing the image, the program locks. The
program  windows will not close and remain on the screen.  Alt-Apple-Esc and force quit does not
close the program.  Sometimes the comuter crashes.  This also happens to my Powerbook G4.  This
has been a consistent phenomenon of every ImageJ Ihave tried over the past 2 years.  It is amazingly
frustrating.

Am I really the only one this is happening for?

Thanks for the help

It's hard to generalize *that* far, but we've had a lab with ImageJ
running on tens of Macs, from OS 9 to OS 10.3.9, and from G3 to G5, for
at least the 3+ years I've been here, without seeing this problem.

If Cmd-Opt-Escape and force-quit isn't closing the program, it sounds
like you've got a far bigger problem than ImageJ misbehavior.  Do you
ever encounter this problem with other programs, Java-based or not?  
Are you running any third-party utilities or novelties that might be
altering the operating system's behavior?
