Hi. A couple of friends here have been having problems, and I wonder if anyone can help: 1. Person A has upgraded his IIci to 8Mb from 4Mb, and now when he tries to shutdown, the machine does a restart instead of a shutdown. Reinstalling the system seems not to fix this. 2. Person B has a portable, and when it goes to sleep, his Appletalk connections are lost. Is there any utility for somehow reinstating them at wakeup? Thanks. Ralph

Okay, this probably isn't it, but check the back of the IIci to see if the little round power switch (the one with the flathead screwdriver slot in it, on the lower right) isn't pushed IN with the slot facing upward. If so, it should be turned so the switch pops out (the slot horizontal). I've seen that switch get turned several times and it results in the same problem, which users immediately assume is a software problem -- or a virus! Man, if there's one thing I have about viruses, it's the increased level of paranoia... from when I got my Mac in 1984 to early 1988, I never even thought about the possibility of a virus... that was something PC users dealt with. :-) Can't help with your second problem, sorry. >Thanks.

If you have FTP access, you can get the 6.0.5 system software from Apple at 130.43.2.2, login anonymous, password guest. IF not, try to see if an apple dealer will allow you to dupe a copy of the software... Good luck! -Barrey
