Many thanks Jeremy, that's quite a relief. I never used Extension Manager as Conflict Catcher served me well in the past. I'll try to install Conflict Catcher on OS 9.2.2, if it lets me, otherwise I will try your suggestion. I'll give you feed back in a few days as I have to leave town for three days. Many thanks for your suggestion. Greetings, Andre. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
