Hi all

I've got a weird problem here with my J700.  When I access the menubar, 
for any function, the box locks up.  So far I have:

Unplugged, removed clock batter, done CUDA dance
zapped PRAM repeatedly
removed flakey hard drive when it died, taking all my email with it :-(((
installed compllete, new OS 8.5 9 (from scratch) and 8.6 update with 
apple disk tools formatted IBM 4 gig SCSI drive

tried with M$, Netscape, Mozilla
 

Hi Boulton,

You mentioned Mozilla. At some point running this program requires a 
beta version of Java that doesn't come on any system disk as far as I 
know. I had a lot of menu bar crashes in 9.1 after I downloaded it.  It 
conflicts with STF fax software for sure. Uninstalling  STF was the only 
way I could make it go away. This problem is the principal reason I now 
have 2 computers on my desk ... one for regular computing (business 
stuff, scanning and faxing, and Photoshop), the other for OSX and 
Internet with Mozilla.

Don't know if this helped or not.

Steve
