Nancy I tried this but as I feared it didn't work... The problem is that I can *ONLY* start OS9 with shift key down and I can't get at the Monitors control panel or Formac ProGraphics when it's in this state.
I have been turning off all the extensions to try to get into OS9 but even with ALL turned off it won't restart without going into the grey flashing mode. I just don't understand what is the difference between no extensions selected and shift restart. Looks like I'm up a creek with no paddle! I will just have to try rebuilding from scratch as Jeff suggested... Thanks for all the suggestions. >Hi Tim, > >I must not have been clear with my suggestion.
