[QUOTE="lindsaycb, post: 91948"] I have a G4 with OS 9.2.2 and I think there is something wrong with Finder. It gave me an "Finder" error type 41 on bootup one time. The same computer was having problems a few weeks ago and I was able to get back working again with a re-install of OS 9.2.2 but I thought it did a clean install but the software was still there and files, so I guess I didn't do a clean install. Cause now the finder is bad again... It worked for a little while but now everytime I boot into the OS, it freezes on me. Even if I boot with the base Extensions, it freezes. The only time it works is when I boot with Extensions off, however then I lose CD-ROM capability. I have Norton Utilities 7.0, but I can't use it since it freezes by the time I double-click on the icon. [B]Can I boot from the Cd-rom and do a defrag on the hard drive using Speed Disk?[/B] No matter what I do, I can't do a defrag on the hard drive, can't figure it out with Norton Utilities. I'm playing with the extensions and I recently got an error type 10. [B]Is there anyway to fix the Finder?[/B] And yes, I'm a Mac Newbie but I'm learning slowly! [/QUOTE]
