my two cents i used to spend a looooooooong time trying to solve this and similar problems on Mac's
in the end i found that the most expeditious method was to zap the pram with techtool, low level the hard drive. and do a clean install. i'm convinced a slew of Mac problems are attributed to the HD format breaking and corrupt lower pram settings and instead of spending hours trying to track the error down it was much simpler to do the above. in my experience 7.6.1 is the most bullet proof of the Mac OSes (sp?) and my preferred install on any 68k Mac that has enough ram to for it (and can handle it) how much is a enough ram? 17mb ought to be ok for most applications (excludes netscape 4.x.x) 8mb in a pinch but the bottom line is just how ram hungry the apps are that you want/need to use. regards Al -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
