Strange Problem with Color Classic
Since there have been no responses as of yet, I thought I'd elaborate on the problem. I used Apple's Network Access Disk to boot the CC, then ran the formatting software (HD SC Setup 7.3.5) and the generic 7.1 installer. So the hard drive was wiped and a fresh system was installed. When the system install was finished, I popped the System Enabler into the System Folder, then restarted. Everything (but the desktop pattern) works just fine. When I go into the General Controls, I can cycle through the patterns, however when I click on the little desktop, the pattern simply refuses to change from the default grey. Now, even without a PRAM battery, should not the pattern be able to be changed? I know that the system is acknowledging the requests, because the hard drive will access when I click a different pattern. Could there be remnants of System 7.5.3 on the hard drive? Should I run some sort of drive wiping program and try reinstalling? Please let me know if I should provide more information, though I can't imagine what else to say.

Re: Strange Problem with Color Classic
Hi Mitch, Thanks for the reply. I tried double-clicking, as you suggested, and that didn't work right off. However, I clicked about 20 times in succession, and that seemed to do the trick. Ironically, I could have sworn that I tried that before but it didn't work. Now, I just tried to see if I could change the pattern again, and once again, it's stuck.
