Reply: (edit)Restart the mac. As soon as you see the grey bar under the 'welcome to mac OS' screen inset start to move hold down the spacebar. You should eventually come to the extensions manager. Disable the LAUNCHER control panel and any LAUNCHER items you see in the extensions folder. Mosey on down to STARTUP ITEMS and there it is 99% likely you'll find an alias for your FEK app. Disable it. Continue booting. If this is a new machine for you I would suggest initializing the HD and installing a nice clean fresh copy of 8.6.
