Solution: install them one at a time, or a few at a time, so you can figure out which one is causing the problem. If you downloaded them recently, the only one I know of which might cause a problem is CPU.DA (Control Panel Utility). I'm not sure if the author ever uploaed a fixed version of that. I use numerous CDAs and NDAs with and without the Finder. Let me know what you figure out. If there are other crashing DAs out there, I want to know about them! --David A. Lyons a.k.a.
