Yep, holding 'c' won't work when booting up these machines, I can't remember the exact combination, something like command-option-shift-delete when starting up. Usually in times like this, I just hold down as many of the typical buttons (i.e., option, command, control etc etc) and go from there. I AM certain the delete button is used...
Another one you might like to try is booting up normally (i.e., without the CD) and hold shift down, to turn all extensions off, including time-sync. Your third option (and in my opinion, the best one) is to start up holding the space bar down. Before any extensions load, the extensions manager will pop up. Turn off anything to do with time-sync and click continue. Good luck with it... -- John On 14/2/03 8:19 AM, "djl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I get a "Time Synchronization" error Type 41 about half way through > the boot up.
