hi nick,
have you tried the starting up in single user mode thing? i think you hold down option s at startup, a load of text will appear and there are instructions to run fs-disk (i think thats what it's called?!) give that a try - i think it does a more than disk first aid.... hope this helps, jake on 3/7/02 11:02 am, Nick Harman at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi > > OS10.15 on my iBook is starting up normally but after all the welcome > to/configuring network stuff the window goes away and instead of the log > in window, it just sits with the deep blue screen.
