Welp, I finnally got system 7 and installed it. It was quite impressive on the first boot, neat icons, neat stuff, new beeps the whole lot.... Then I crashed. Now I cant even boot with it any longer.... It will boot up to where all the menues are and then it will give me a dialog window like the one that appears when you do an interrupt (minus the carret, or is it carrot?) and it flashes a bit and stays there... I have tried several things. Trashed dekstop over desktop, removed EVERYTHING except the system and the finder from their folder and combed the HDs for other evil systems lying around to conflict..... I really want to play with this toy more.... any suggestions as to how I can get my finder back? Is that the problem the finder? Or do I jsut have bad gas?

I'd suggest reinstalling the software. If it works for system 6.0.?when you have problems, it should also work for system 7 too..... +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Steve Fuller | Iowa | I will choose the path that's clear. + | | State | I will choose freewill. + |xdpq8@ccvax.iastate.edu | University | -- RUSH -- + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Gee, I just can't figure why Apple won't release beta versions of system software to the general public. gort@cup.portal.com

Well, after hours of strain and problems, I finnally asked for another copy and re-installed it from the master disks.... It was the system file that was corrupted some how...
