Classic is OS 9 running under OS X.> If you're booted in OS 9 and having the problems then it isn't any plist. You have an OS 9 problem. I'd boot in OS 9 and start with holding down extensions to see if things work okay. If it does then use Extensions manager to enable OS 9 Base extensions only. Then start turning other extensions one by one.> I'm sorry if I was unclear. Yes, I know Classic is OS 9 running under OS X -- I'm running in Tiger 10.4.9 and occasionally need to use older apps which require OS 9 but will run in Tiger if Classic is on. I don't boot in OS 9 anymore because for reasons I could never figure out, my Quicksilver stopped booting in 9 -- so I can't boot directly in OS 9. But until recently, I WAS able to boot Classic and run those apps in Classic under Tiger. In the System Preferences Panel, the Classic pane offers you a choice to start Classic at login and you select an OS 9 System folder from which to do it. So that's what I mean when I say my machine is set to boot Classic at login -- if I shut down the Mac, Classic boots and I can use it, but it doesn't STAY up, and if I try to start it up without shutting down and rebooting the machine again, in clicking the little 9 for Classic in my menu bar, I see an entire startup sequence for 9/Classic but it doesn't actually boot -- the little 9 is light instead of dark and those apps won't run. So I'd been thinking maybe Classic Prefs got corrupted, and was going to try fixing it by deleting the .plist, but I have no idea which of the zillion .plist's are for Classic.... ~Yersinia. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
