Did you already have the applications to open your transferred data files installed on the 9600, or did you drag them over from the B&W G3. If the latter any extensions, preferences and associated folders my be left on the B&W G3's system folder. Did you boot the B&W G3 from a system CD and copy the whole hard disk over to the 9600's 40GB partition? Then you will probably need to boot from that partition to run some applications on that disk, rather than your 9600's normal boot partition. > > After the fact I tried rebuilding the desktop but it did not help.
