OS9 Frozen Desktop

<< < (4/4)

Syntho:
The only issue I've had in the last week is that sometimes when starting OS9, it freezes right in the middle of loading the desktop. The menu bar at the top has no File or Apple icon or anything - just a blank bar and it freezes. When I manually power it off and restart, it boots up fine and doesn't give me that 'scanning for errors since OS9 didn't shut down right' thing.

Other than it doing that a couple times, it's been smooth sailing. It hasn't frozen in the middle of anything thankfully.

MacGuy:
It may be a fragmented directory issue.

DiskWarrior is great for restoring the directory and has saved the day for me many many times.

You could also boot  from the installer disk and run Apple's disk utility to verify and repair.
