Desktop Manager will not work with System 7.0. If you have Desktop Manager installed in your System Folder, your mac will go through the startup pro- cedure okay, but when you get to the desktop, your machine will hang--you will only see your menu and your watch cursor. Restart your machine, holding down the shift key to turn all extensions off. Remove Desktop Manager from your System Folder and restart. Dean Money Academic Computing Services Auburn University

You shouldn't need Desktop Manager with 7.0, since that functionality is now in the System.

But not only is the Desktop Manager not needed in System 7, it must be removed from your System 7 Folder. Otherwise your machine will hang as I described. I wanted to warn others about this, since I've seen a number of people with this problem. The Compatibility Checker does not warn or move the DTM init out of the way, so be warned!
