I don't know if this will help but I got it off an obscure site: "An unimplemented trap basically means that the software tried to call a routine that wasn't there. If this is happening during startup the most likely cause (though not the only possible cause) is a non-Apple extension/control panel that isn't working quite right, or that expects a newer (or older) version of the OS than you are running. If the problem is reproducible (i.e. it happens every time you startup) you're in luck; you can restart without extensions by holding down the shift key, then try removing any third-party extensions and control panels and adding them back in slowly, rebooting each time. When it starts crashing again, the last one you added in is probably the culprit. " It's kinda vague, but maybe that's a good starting point for anyone having this problem. I've run into it a couple of times, but I can never remember how I resolved it. . . . . too many quirks on too many machines for mr to recall sometimes. __C -- Chrys R.
