[QUOTE="Mac SK, post: 924173, member: 21908"] Well...first off to eject a floppy with out it asking for you put it back choose Put Away under the file menu. Putting in different start up disc of several versions of OS7 could corrupt the desktop file. You need the OS7 version of Nortons Utilities Version 3.5 to repair the system file and check the hard drive for errors. Sounds like the Hard Drive my be about to crash. The flashing ? mark means system can not be found. Whens the last time the Pram Battery was replaced. If you hold down the Shift key at start up that will turn extensions off. See if it boots with out the freezing. Next time you get it going you better copy that control software if the HD crashes your going to need it. To rebuild the desktop hold down the APPLE,Option key at start up. Its recommended that you rebuild the desktop with extensions off. You need to rebless the system by going into the control panels and chooseing start up disk and click the HD icon. [/QUOTE]
