Sorry, I thought the groups were separate. Holding down the shift key kept the launcher from showing as well as the message that the clock was wrong. The cursor is still frozen, but I am able to use the direction keys to go back and forth between the hard disk and trash icons. Thanks,
Suzanne

I joined this group because I am looking for help with an old Performa
575 that I know very little about.  After finally learning to boot it
up, I now see that the cursor is frozen and the "documents" button is
depressed in the launcher.  Does anyone know what I should do to
progress?

Try holding down the shift key (use the left one to be sure). This will allow the Mac to boot without loading a bunch of stuff during startup. Do you know which launcher you're using (eg. the one which came with the system software, At Ease, something which came from a third party)?

And please don't cross post messages.  If you have trouble getting
a response from one, then go on to another.
