Hi, I was expecting some fun with "Guided Tour" program in /NeXTDeveloper/Demo dir (BTW,on my HD, 040). But After I launched that program, it log myself out and nothing going (sound, animation,,) except show up as another user "NeXTTour"(?). ShowandTell program above Recycler can't be launched. Since then I can't login as root or even myself. Reboot or powerdown didn't help either. NeXT-Tour program(user) took over my HD !!! My last resovle was to boot from my original 2.0 Extended OD. and try to reupgrade my HD. Unfortunately, Upgrade2.0 program told me "Upgrade 2.0 is not supported" this time, not the first time ask me whether to keep Mathmatica and Algol CL or not. After Upgrade2.0 failed, my HD show up as "UPGRADE2.0" dir under root. and I have another dir "NeXTour" under HD. all the files under /NextDeveloper are invisiable under "NeXT-Tour" user but visiable under booting from OD. Did I make stupid mistakes again ? Thanks for you pointer Jing

Hi, I finally got out of "NexTour" user by try and error. 1. su to "me", can't su to root directly. 2. su to "root" with password. 3. Launch UserManager in NextAdmin dir. 4. Delete NexTour user. 5. then I can logout "NexTtour" user and have login panel as normal. Without 4. step, I can't logout "NexTour" user. Anybody have a sucessful NeXT-tour trip ? or how can you run "Guided Tour" program under NeXTCube ? It seems default to introduce NeXTStation. Thanks for your response Jing

Boot your NeXT in single user mode... cmd-cmd-~/ then at the prompt NeXT> b sd -s # cd / # cd .NeXT # rm .NeXTdefaults.L then cmd-cmd-~ and let it boot NeXTstep. This allows you to sign on as root. Call up /NextAdmin/UserManager and delete the NeXTTour account and directory. And delete the .NeXT/NeXTdefaults.L file in your own home directory. This deletes any previous default settings you may have made, but as least it will allow you to sign-on.
