Perhaps a corrupt System file, but could be a different conflict too. Do you get the same error with no 3rd party extensions loaded (OS 8.6 files only)? If so, can you replace the System file with one from the Mac OS 8.6 Install CD? Even better, it might be worthwhile to use "Clean-Install Assistant" along with a fresh 8.6 installation. It (C-IA) will nicely preserve and replace all your non-Apple files and put them back amongst the all new 8.6 files. It's a great utility, straightforward, and freeware too. http://www.marcmoini.com/C-IAssistant.html I'm doubting a bad RAM DIMM, since it's unique to your 8.6 partition. -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
