I picked up this beast at a garage sale for 17 dollars. It's my first Apple product. Figured it would be a good way to check out the basics before I go out and spend some real money. While I was looking around at the system files, prior to hooking it into my LAN. I managed to lock up most the programs and apps on this box. (That one button mouse is going to take some getting used to.) System Macintosh LC630 System : v7.6 US CPU : 68LC040 @ 33 MHz Active Enabler : n/a Memory Installed : 12 mb Virtual Memory : on total memory : 16 mb Disk cache : on Start up device : internal IDE While I was looking around at the system files, prior to I hooking it into my LAN I managed to lock up most the programs and apps on this box. (That one button mouse is going to take some getting used to.) I think System profile listed Active Enabler as on prior to me being stupid Things I've tried to fix it Holding the apple-option-P-R keys at boot Holding shift at boot Holding option at boot Also tried tapping these combinations of keys while it booted. I still get the little lock icon locking itself as it boots. Control Panel and and/or extension manager seem to be the two items I need to fix the rest. Active Enabler appears to be the key to this problem. I can't seem to find out how to reverse this in the help files on the computer or on the net. Mostly because I'm not sure how I did it. I'm caught in a nasty little loop. Open extension manager to unlock stuff, can't open extension manager because its locked. I'm hoping this is an easy fix. If not will upgrading the OS fix it or will the same paremeters still hold after an upgrade? I'm downloading the manual as I type this, so I will RTFM. But unless its better than the online ones I found I'm in trouble. Anyway if anyone feels like throwing a few ideas my way I'd be most grateful. Sorry about the length of this post, but I know trying to help someone without enough info can drive you insane. Thanks in advance Rowdy Another fine mess you've gotten us into Ollie
