Thanks, I'll do that...Also, when I did the install, I did it right
over the top of 8.6 rather than a clean install. I have soooooo many
large files that it takes forever to save them all on my zip 100 (I
just did this when I did a clean install of 8.6, took me 25 zip
discs) I'm wondering if there is a way to install the 9 along side
the 8.6 while still maintaining stability AND the contents of my hard
drive.

It could very well be Adobe ATM causing the problems on your #1 iMac. You
need the latest version of Adobe ATM (4.6.1). Adobe ATM versions earlier
than 4.5.2 cause horrible crashes with OS 9. You can pick up your free ATM

Also, I have 2 iMacs: #1 is a 333/192 running OS 8.6, #2 is a 450/192
running OS 9.0.4. #2 has fire wire and DVD drive, while #1 does not.
I would like to upgrade #1 to 9.0.4 (via the CDs that came with #2)
but when I last tried the result was multiple crashes in every
application, including the finder on start-up. I gave up and did a
clean install of 8.6.
My question: Does this have anything to do with the DVD or Firewire
Extensions that are being installed? I wiped all those out and even
ran ConflictCatcher, but to no avail (CC's assessment was that Adobe
ATM was the culprit, but CC is another story)...Could this be an
Apple software piracy safeguard? Do I have to purchase a new copy of
OS 9 to install on #1, rather than using the CD's that came with #2?
Even though I personally own both computers (one personal, one for
business) am I supposed to maintain separate software for each
one--ethically and otherwise?
I realize this is a mouthful--thanks in advance for input,
Stacey
