Hi Sybil, To isolate the offending file. Holding down the shift key at startup assures that only software essential to booting up gets loaded; if a disk can only be started with the shift key down, this would indicate something is wrong with the additional software being loaded, whether a corrupt file, a file loading in the wrong sequence, or a process which is conflicting with another. Also, when testing like this, it's a good idea to either move the items in question to a folder named "Extensions (Disabled)", "Control Panels (Disabled)", etc. or remove them completely from the System Folder, otherwise they'll just be loaded anyway, but in a dfferent order. Of course, that could be a solution, too ;-) Peace, paul -- Paul F. Henegan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
