The server has an i7 processor, and additional software.
When preferences is stuck in busy, cmd-opt-esc doesn't even work; I have had
to reboot. Other ideas are welcome.
This, of course, is without a monitor attached.

Hi Diane,
Can you tell me what makes a Mini a server or not a server? is it more
then just the software it is running?
Also, can you tell me what it looks like when the Preferences are not
working correctly and what you do when this happens.
Thanks very much for sharing your experiences and tips.

My Mac mini is a server, and without a monitor it will not automatically
start with VO. Also, I have experienced a few of the issues, others have
mentioned on the list, but not all of them. The most memorable, of which,
is the freezing of preferences, and not showing something during the
initial install, which I cannot remember what that was. It is interesting
to think that the server would work differently than a nonserver machine,
for the same options. I just had never considered that when others were
reporting problems that I was not having.
Thanks,
Diane

Hi John
It's worth pointing out here that the server Mac Mini will run fine
without a monitor. Apple is doing some pretty naughty things at the
moment, (more later). But I don't think the standard Mini will work
right without a monitor. It's worth pointing out though that once the
system is started you can probably turn off the monitor. I haven't
tried it, since all of our Minis are Server machines.

This has been a topic that has come up several times. Some folks are
told by Apple techs that the Mini can work without a monitor and some
people have no trouble with that setup. However, others, like myself,
had oddities occur without a monitor connected, such as VoiceOver not
starting at startup automatically, system preference changes not
sticking, finder bogging down and some Safari weirdness. There is a
setup that one can use to trick the Mini into thinking you have a
monitor, but that will cost about $60 as an investment. You would have
to weigh that against simply buying a cheap monitor.
