This sounds like a damaged install CD. > I think the problem is with extensions, > but why would the Install CD have problems? Extensions on your hard drive are not the problem with booting off a CD because they have not been loaded. It is possible that your parameter RAM is messed up. You might want to reset it, just for fun. (Hold down command+option+p+r all at once when you reboot. Let the machine bong three or four times. It's also said that it works better, if you do it with only one hand.) > When TechTool finds a damaged file it cannot fix, > I try to restore from a back-up. When you restore, you have to be sure the permissions are restored correctly for X. Have you tried repairing the permissions? > Might I do better with a complete re-install? If you've messed around with a lot of files, a reinstall would certainly give you back the correct permissions. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be March 25.
