OS9 Frozen Desktop

(1/4) > >>

Syntho:
OS9 will lock up where I can't click anything. My cursor still moves, but when I click on anything it does nothing. I can't even get the dropdown from Special so I can restart. Funnily enough I can press CMD+OPT+ESC and it'll bring up a Kill window, but that stays frozen too.

This only happens after a while. I used the drag install from DieHard and disabled loads of extensions I'm not using.

DieHard:
No other issues reported re: drag install...

1) Run MDD Extended Diagnostics...

2) Put RAM to 1 GB

allocate more RAM to apps you are using, turn off FCB Indexing

Report back to me about results

Syntho:
Is this the extended diagnostics you're talking about? http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=822.0

The system has 2x 512 sticks and I remember running some diagnostics tool a while back, but it slips my mind as to which.

Where's FCB Indexing located?

DieHard:
Yes... burn it to CD and boot to it... Hold "C" key upon boot

In extensions manager

Syntho:
I got an error on the video card. I'm using a legit GeForce 4 TI 128mb in it. The error code is disp/15/5. Let me restart and test again just to make sure...
