That also is why I was annoyed over the demise of Cassidy & Greene. Their "Conflict Catcher" has served me well over the years.
IMNSHO, People are just trying to do too much with these 7 to 10 year old machines. From spread sheets to photo, etc, etc. I've a friend that is a print broker. In their shop they have certain functions assigned to different computers. There's no time nor money to spend as everyone waits while someone plays the extension conflict game.
In would appear to me, other than the occasional newbie, We folks on the list are fiddlers. Always changing something and trying something new. In the world of Commerce it's "Don't F...* with a running machine."

I tried to use Macintosh 9.2.2 two or three years ago but I had the problem of the computer refusing to shut down.

I have tried Netscape 6 and Netscape 7 but I like Netscape 4.77.
I would agree with this advice... Trying to run such software on this hardware may mean you will have such flakey problems.
However, you might try doing a fresh install of 9, then upgrade it to 9.1,
and then all the way to 9.2.2 without actually using it, and then
reinstalling your apps fresh. One advantage of this is that you won't have
any third-party extensions installed, but another is fresh preference files.
Once you can keep 9.2.2 stable in this configuration, you can slowly add
your essential extensions one or two at a time, and see if one of them is
causing your problems. If you can't get stable with a fresh install/upgrade,
then I would toss the idea of 9.2.2, and go back to the earlier version...
BTW, I hope you have been saving your original 9.1 system folder.... ;-)
