[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 409582, member: 3889"] To rebuild the desktop, you hold down the Option and Command keys only, when restarting the computer. But if the desktop files are very badly corrupted, the machine will rebuild it with the corruption still present. I have Tech Tool Lite that allows me to delete the desktop files altogether. The machine then has to rebuild it from scratch. That option must be available on Tech Tool's full version. If you click on Memory in the control panel while holding own the Option and Command keys, another control appears that tells the machine to check the RAM when it restarts. When you get this problem sorted out, and if there is room on the external drive to install a system and leave it there, install Tech Tool along with it. That way, using the Startup Disk control panel, the machine could be booted from either drive, and one could be fixed from the other. That's why I have two bootable OS 9 partitions. [/QUOTE]
