- My office-mates' macintosh (Mac IIci, 20 MB RAM, 7.0.1 with tuneup,
- extension manager and bunches of other inits, internal and external hard
- drives with lots of free space, Supermac 21" color monitor and board)
- has suddenly developed a problem I've never seen before: None of the
- startup items start up. All the rest of the inits work. We've
- reinstalled the software from locked floppies, scanned with
- disinfectant, deleted the startup items folder and restarted, and put
- aliases back in the newly recreated folder. I've run out of ideas...
-
- The only thing odd is that he's starting up from an external HD (A
- micronet 240 MB, with two low-level partitions.) The problem started
- after his internal HD crashed; we reformatted, and restored from
- backups, but now no startup items...
-
- Has this happened to anyone before? How did you fix it?
