Hi,
I have just installed Panther on the older dv imac but when you go to
run a OS 9 program, it tries to open and fails. I can switch start up
disks and that works fine, but I can't seem to get 9 to stay open
inside X. What have I done wrong?
Thanks
Hi Kassandra,
Mac OS X: Classic startup stalls when almost complete
If a server that is aliased in the Classic (Mac OS 9) System Folder's
Server's folder is not available, Classic may not finish starting up.
As Classic starts up, the loading system extension icons appear then
disappear as they normally do. The progress bar in the Classic startup
window indicates that Classic startup is almost complete. At this
point, Classic stalls and does not finish starting up.
This may occur if a Mac OS 9-based AppleShare (AFP) server that is
aliased in the Classic (Mac OS 9) System Folder's Servers folder is not
available.
You may choose to solve only the immediate issue by getting Classic
started, or you may choose to additionally remove the server alias(es)
that caused the issue.
Complete Classic's startup
1. Click the desktop, or any item in the Dock.
2. If the "Classic Environment starting up" window remains, click it
once. Classic will finish starting up.
