I just got a powerbook 160 for 5 bucks, and when i turn it on, it boots to macos and everything, then a screen comes up and says that the powerbook needs to be returned to the original owner, and a award is offered...it has some bogus phone number and address, is there a way to remove this? if i boot without extentions it doesnt come up with that screen.
Well, you answered your question right there, look through the extensions list or start-up items for the one that does that, or disable them all and add then on one at a time until you get the offender.
Are you *sure* it isn't a stolen PB?
