[comp.sys.mac.system] HELP: Chooser crashes

josh@athena.mit.edu (Josh Hartmann) (03/06/91)

Please help me.

I have a Mac II with sys. 6.0.5, gobs of INITs, and a GCC PLPII, Freedom
of Press, and DoveFax. I was in the Chooser switching back from Laserwriter
to PLPII, and I hit the DoveFax by accident, and then the PLPII quickly
afterwards. However, the DoveFax Page Setups warning dialog box came up
after I hit the PLPII and the system hung. I restarted, and now, each
time I go to the Chooser and hit one of the three resources, it bombs.
If I just go to the Chooser and exit without changing anything, it bombs
too. The username has changed to some garbage. I tried replacing the
Chooser from my backups, with no different results. I replaced drivers. No
help. What to do? What to do? I cannot print anything as long as things
are this way. Does anyone have any ideas? I hesitate to ditch my current
system folder, but I can do this if necessary.
Please reply by email as this is the fastest way. Indicate if you are
interested in the final solution and I will pass this on to you.
