Hello!
I have a G3 tower B&W running OS9.1. The computer will not turn off either by the 'special' menu or the power button. It just will not turn off! (it will not even restart). When I click on restart or shut down the icons, on the desktop, will go away and then nothing else. If I click on restart or shut down again the computer will freeze. :( Besides this problem, the machine works pretty good.
This is a computer that I bought at an auction and do not have the original disks, or I would just reinstall the OS and see if that would fix the problem. I have an iMac (tray loading cd) that I also bought used. It came with a copy of OS 9.1 on a green colored disk. I would use it on the tower but for some reason the cd/dvd drive will not see any green disk I put in the machine. (It is as if it is color blind. :) )
Does anyone have any idea on how to get this, overall good, machine to turn off? I rebuilt the desktop, and scanned the hard drive with Norton and yet it still will not shut off.
You may have a third party extension that isn't playing well with others. Open the Extension manager control panel and select OS 9.1 all (it's a pop up menu). Then restart (it will likely still hang this time, if so hit the reset button. After it finishes starting up do a restart / shutdown to see if that fixed it.
