Well, if you did reinstall over your previous installation, whatever caused the problem is probably still there, whether it is a corrupted preference file or a conflicting extension. If it was me, I would reinstall OS 9 but I would make sure to do a clean install. I don't remember exactly, but I think there is an option in the installation process where you have the ability to select a clean installation. Your previous system folder is still there, but it's inactive. That way, you can test after a clean install and then, bring back any preference file you might need, with careful checking after each file you bring back from your old system folder. That's what I do when I need to do an OS install. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] BUAG // n.: [abbreviation, from alt.fan.warlord] Big Ugly ASCII Graphic.
