- PowerMac 7200/75: Mac OS 7.6.1; iMac 233mhz Mac OS X 10.1.5; PowerBook 180c, Mac OS 7.5.3
I just bought a 400MHz iMac DV with 10GB HD and 192MB RAM off eBay, recieved it today. I've spent some time with it, and each time I boot up I have a small (large) problem. It boots up fine, but then when it gets to the desktop everything seems to freeze up. I can move the mouse but can't click... it seems like everything goes back to normal once the control strip appears but that takes several minutes (I have even disabled the control strip extension, but it keeps coming back). I have had to press the power button to put it into sleep (that's when I know it's responsive) and then bring it back, and it's fine.
I'm pretty sure this is NOT normal and am wondering if there is anything I can do within OS9 to fix it. The system has 9.2.2. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Do I just need to start fresh with a clean install?
Thanks
