[comp.sys.mac.misc] My si is locking up!

cathy@talos.npri.com (Cathy Keller) (05/10/91)

I have the new mac si(5meg) and the new stylewriter printer.  I installed       Microsoft Word 4.00A. whenever I use Word after a few minutes my computer
freezes and I can't do anything and have had to unplug the machine and 
restart.  I don't have the FPU installed.

It seems to also happen sometimes when Word is not used.
Is there any known problem with the stylewriter & 6.0.7?
Any help would be appreciated.

Cathy,

        Not sure about your problem...
But you don't have to unplug the si.

Apple has put the programmer and reset switches into keyboard interupts.
The next time it happens..

CMD-SHIFT-Power Key (maybe option and control too, can't remember)

This will do a reset.  Quite a bit less dramatic then unplugging it.
