Hi, I don't know if this can help, but when I want to replace the Sonnet extension on my 6500/G3, I simply drag the enabled extension in the trash and then securely copy the new extension in the extensions folder (if you don't do that, you can get terrible crashes). Than I just have to start up. Maybe it would be the same with the Finder file ? THierry -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
