Does anyone know how to zap the pRAM now? I've got a Mac that insist that the default app font is Chicago...when I know it should be New York. Or Geneva. Or whatever I want. Did this go away with the old Control Panel DA? -- Jason Gross Comp Sci Ugrad University of Miami Class of '91 (?) =========================================================================== Hey, wanna save the world? | Got sumtin' to say? gross@umiami.bitnet Nuke a Godless, Communist, | Pick and choose! gross@umiami.ir.miami.edu gay whale for Christ. | gross@miavax.ir.miami.edu - Anonymous | jgross@umbio.med.miami.edu =========================================================================== The University of Miami has a lovely fountain.

Haven't tried this myself, but our regional Apple Systems Engineer recently sent this to me: 1) Locate the following keys on your keyboard - Command, Option, "p", and "r". You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 2. 2) Restart your Macintosh and press the Command-option-"p"-"r" key combination. You must be pressing this key combination before you get to the "Welcome to Macintosh" screen. 3) Hold the key combination until the Macintosh restarts itself. 4) Your Macintosh's parameter RAM will be reset to the default values. The clock setting will not, however, be changed. -John --- John O'Malley / Macintosh / Purdue University / (317) omalley@cc.purdue.edu / Specialist / Computing Center / 494-1787
