-- At this point I don't remember if I pulled those 2 specific prefs--I did pull the finder and some others individually. Then in order to know if pulling any of the prefs would make a difference I put the entire folder on the desktop. It did not stop the "restart without the shift key crash". I also checked the system folder for loose extensions and found one, the "finder scripting extension, which I pulled along with the cp and extension folder again. Still could only startup with shift key down. Uhmm, I just thought (sometimes I'm slow) to pull the external drive and attach it to another computer. I only have 9.1 on my other machine but I should be able to put DiskWarrier and Norton on the case and see if the system is repairable. Talk to you all later. Still may need some ideas on this. dan_A -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
