texte = Chris,A couple of things you can try:1) Run Apple's Disk First Aid (version 8.5.1- came with OS 8.5) or NortonUtilities 4.01. Make sure that there are no MDB or corruption problems.2) If your finder prefs are corrupt, you can trash them (start withExtensions off, go into System Folder: Preferences and throw away theFinder Preferences and restart). Either way, this is a quick way to checkif the problem is with your preferences.Generally, either #1 or #2 will fix it. If not, try #3.3) Try doing a clean minimal install of 8.5 (and the 8.5.1 upgrade). Nowyou'll have System Folder and Previous System Folder. Rename SystemFolder to spare parts (or something) and rename Previous System Folderto System Folder. You'll now have to unbless the (now) spare partsfolder. To do this, go into the spare parts folder, remove the Finderand set it on your desktop. Go into your old System Folder (was titledPrevious System Folder) and double-click on the finder. Close the SystemFolder. This should have the effect of moving the smiling MacOS logo offthe spare parts folder and onto the System Folder. if you didn't noticethe icon switch, try closing all open windows and then opening the rootwindow by double-clicking the hard drive icon. If it still hasn't switched,separate the system and finder files in the spare parts folder and doingthe finder double-click again in the System Folder. With this it willswitch.Essentially, what we've done is installed a second system folder, unblessedit and put the blessing back onto your original system folder. Theblessed system folder is the one that will boot the Mac. At this point,you now have a extra system folder full of interchangeable parts, so youcan drag out the old finder, replace it with a new finder and restart.4) Get cron 1.2 and use it to launch all of your apps. Cron is designed toexecute files at a certain time and is not dependant on the Startup ItemsFolder. Either that, or build and AppleScript that executes at a specifictime to launch your apps.Hope this helps.>Hey guys ,I have a question about system 8.5.1....>We just got a new Yosemite 400 mhz G3 in here and its been running great,>servering pages like there is no tommorrow, but today just about 30 minutes>ago, we got an error booting up, right when it starts to load everything it>gives a FINDER has unexpectedly quit , restart blah blah, but the finder>does not crash, the only thing that happens is it prevents the start up>items from loading.
