My Mac crashed after loading several INITs. My first guess was to remove BackDrop ... it worked. System: Mac+, 2048K, Version 6.0.3, Multifinder INITs: GateKeeper, AutoIdle 1.0a10, Shield 1.02 (Symantec Utilities) I really liked having BackDrop (two point sixteen) but I feel having GateKeeper is more important. BackDrop replaces the gray desktop pattern with a StartupScreen type bitmap image. Is there a newer version of BackDrop? ...something else that will do the same thing? ...or could it be that BackDrop really isn't the problem? -- Steve Talent, Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector CAD Mesa, AZ 602-994-6801, ...!{oakhill, sun!sunburn, uunet}!dover!talent
