YOUR MACINTOSH WON’T BOOT?
------------------------------------
If you’re running System 7 and an extension conflict prevents you from booting your Mac, press and hold the shift key as you power up until you see the message “Extensions off.” Once the desktop appears, run Alert! to find and resolve the conflict.
If your Macintosh will not even boot with extensions disabled, you might try testing your computer with SNOOPER, MAXA's hardware diagnostic utility.
