Thanks Steve, I'm running OS 8.6 here on this 9500 and the Finder problem is with a friends 9.2. I just checked my OS 9 installer and Updates 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 and with 9 the "core" comes down to Base System Soft., CPs, Fonts, Help, Multimedia, compatibility, mobility, networking, printing and utility soft. Will the installer in this case only add what I have thrown away (Finder & System File) bypassing what is already installed of the above? What I'm worried about is, will I have to spend a bunch of time re-setting the internet/default email Remote Access configurations afterwards, as well as having to re-install the two updates? All that for a repeating finder message that won't go away. It happens at every boot up: "The application "Finder" has unexpedly quit. You should save your work in other open applications and restart the computer." Norton Fast Find and Sherlock are not working properly either.
