- Hi.
- I've been having this problem intermittent for about six
- months on my Mac Plus running 6.0.7.
-
- When I try to open a file within an application, the mouse pointer
- will freeze. The computer is not entirely frozen: the keyboard still
- works, but you can't get very far on a mac with no mouse--- the only
- thing that can be done after a certain point is hit the restart
- switch.
-
- Sometimes this will happen the first time you try to open a file after
- restarting the mac, sometimes you can open several files, and
- sometimes you can work all day.
-
- I tried taking inits/cdevs out of the system folder and couldn't find
- anything in specific that was causing it. However, it does seem to be
- related to the number of inits: taking some out seemed to help---it
- just didn't seem to matter which ones.
-
- Any suggestions would be appreciated.
-
- I have 4MB of RAM. Here's more info on my setup:
