It starts automatically when a Classic application is launced, or it can be started here." When I try to start "Classic" from the Classic System Preference, I gets just so far along, then seizes up (or seems to). In the process it asks me which system folder I wish to use. I have roughly the same mix of extensions and Control panels on two, operating from the suggestion I read on this list, to have a low-impact, simple "Classic" system folder. But even when I go to 9.2 Base on the most simple system, it won't fully start up. Of course, I have been trying to keep the XLR8 extension and CP is use. Based on your suggestions, I will continue my explorations - while I await additional excellent input.
