This sounds like a clasic drive corruption. If you can start from a OS9.1 install CD you can begin by running DiskFirstAid. You could do the same with a Diskwarrior CD which will also boot the machine. This should allow you to diagnose and fix permissions, etc. The recently downloaded driver may or may not be the problem. Do you perform routine maintenance on your drives? Backup your data to another medium? Reformat each drive about once a year? It's beginning to sound like a text on computer maintenance, but these usually are the issues to look at. Paul C

Hi All.
I am having problems with my S900. First it started hanging in OS10.2.8.Then
it wouldn't start up at all. I finally got it to boot up but it wouldn't see
all my drives. I have a Zif G3 500 with 700+ ram, an UltrTek PCI card and
the usual,I guess. other assorted add-ons. I finally got it to start up in
9.2 and then switch to 9.1 to use the XPostFacto, which has never given me
any problems, to start into OS10.2.8. Now, for some reason it freezes when
XPost starts to open, and I have to manually shut down as I cannot get to
the menu to shut down from there. Would anybody have any idea as to what the
problem might be? The only thing I can think of is that I downloaded the
driver that is supposed to make the Wacom serial tablet work in OSX. I never
did connect the tablet. I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with
the XPostFacto causing freezing but I suppose stranger things have happened.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions as to how I could get OSX working
again.
      Many Thanks.
