Dana;
Since the problem is to get rid of that file, can you boot up in 9, and
get at the necessary file in the X volume?? If so, kill it that way.

Thanks for the response, Bruce.
Your last preference listing (loginwindow.plist) I would first suspect
as
the culprit, as the status bar window seems to give up right when the
"setting login window" report fails to show.
Booting in Safe mode (the shift keystroke) does not yield a successful
boot
up (same blue window).
Any way to get at that pref. in verbose mode?
Thank you,
Dana

Hi folks, need some guru assistance:
So far, I would say my experience with AGP G4s is less than stellar
- are
they always this finicky?
Twice now, I have successfully installed and updated a Panther OS
on this
machine (G4/600mhz), only to be met with a blue screen of death
(the desktop
does not mount after the status-bar OS X pane is finished) with the
calibrated pinwheel going round and round.
Zapping PRAM proves ineffectual, as does re-setting the board, and
following
the Kbase suggestions on such a situation.
Both situations occurred after a failed install off of an Apple
retail DVD,
the first of iLife 05, the second of a Garage Jam-pack install.
Any wisdom, advice?
Try holding down the shift key, to bypass startup items.
If that works look in your user's pane in the Accounts pref for login
items and delete them.
There are some prefs in the main Library folder (not the one in your
user directory) (they may vary in 10.3, thisa is from a 10.4 system)
com.apple.SystemLoginItems.plist
com.apple.loginwindow.plist
