USBs inactive after restart in 9.2.2

I have a B&W G3 that has two drives. On one I use 10.3.9. On the other I use 9.2.2. Because iTunes just produces coasters on my machine and I have an old Toast app on my old drive, I restarted on the old drive and 9.2.2. (Yes, I tried classic first, no go.) When the screen comes up the cursor is visible but will not move. The keyboard is also inop. Does anyone know a fix??

I ran disk first aid (10.3.9 scanning the old drive) and diskwarrior (the newest). No changes. I have techtool installed on the old drive but it's an old version, well before 9.2.2.

I'd try my pismo but I only have 9.2.2 running under classic there.

Yeah, I know, buy a new machine. But this one does what I want 99% (well, close) most of the time. Thanks for any help. Dan

Sound like a software problem,restart in 9 with startup extensions off ,hold down the shift key at startup.

If that doesn't work, try trashing the system preferences and restarting. Make sure none of the USB extensions weren't accidentally disabled.

I tried the shift key restart. I can't get in that way. If I can scrub the 9.2.2 system preferences from the other drive I'll try this again. Dan
