Extensions are merely 'mini" applications that consume some of your System heap RAM to be ready for different tasks, such as faxing, etc. I wouldn't trash Extensions until you know exactly what they do. The easiest way to troubleshoot an Extension conflict (which is what your drive trouble sounds like) or to disable Extensions, is instead of trashing them, use the Extensions Manager Control Panel. This way you can duplicate (look in the menu bar) the set that is working or that you'd like to fix, disable or enable individual or groups of Extensions to experiment, and if something goes wrong, simply revert to the set that is known good, or at least known- least amount of problems. There's some good tutorials and info out there and a Sherlock might yield some help unless someone else knows of them offhand. Also, a nice tip is that after you have different sets of Extensions (such as one without particular drivers and one with), you don't have to restart, select the set you want and restart again. You can simply hold the space bar as soon as you hear the startup chime. Continue holding it until it brings up the Extensions Manager. At this point you can select the set you want to use, and then continue the startup "on the fly". dave -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
