--begin quote-- Now the problem: Starting up in a normal way will allways result in the appearance of this floppy-icon with the blinking ?-mark. Even let'm go had no results. Giving then the "3-finger-salute" will reboot the Mac absolutey fine and flawlessly, doing all wanted. Shutting down, waiting an hour or so, starting up will give the ?-mark again. To be short: I found out that to start this Mac in the easiest way is to hold "Shift" down after the startup-boing just until the "Smiling-Mac" appears. Leave "Shift" than immediately. The mac will start up now in the desired way!
My question: What can/will cause this silly startup behaviour?? TIA for any idea, Jo Hissel --end quote-- I am by no means an expert, but I would suspect a bad pram battery.
