Use Extension manager to select the "OS 9.1 All" set and see if the problem persists. If it does then it is the OS that is munged. If the problem goes away then you have a problem with an extension. Probably. Also try the "OS 9.1 Base" set. Try holding down the option key at boot. This should bring up a display with the harddisk and CD-ROM drive giving you the option of which to boot off of. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
