Starting up

The Macintosh “hangs” or freezes during startup.

Restart the computer while holding down the Shift key to turn off extensions.
After the computer starts up, restart the computer again.

The PC Setup icon has a red slash through it at startup.

You may have started the computer holding down the Shift key, which turns
off extensions. Restart the computer without holding down the Shift key.

A RAM disk or RAM cache in the Mac OS may be using too much memory.
Reduce the size of the RAM disk or RAM cache, and restart the computer.

The PC Setup software is not loading at startup. There may be a problem with
the PC Setup Prefs file (in the Preferences folder within the System Folder).
Remove the file and restart the Macintosh. Then use the PC Setup control
panel to recreate your settings. If this doesn’t work, try reinstalling the PC
software (see Chapter 4, “Installing the PC Compatibility Card Software”).

The Macintosh software for the PC Compatibility Card doesn’t seem to be installed.

See Chapter 4, “Installing the PC Compatibility Card Software,” for a list of
the Macintosh software that is required for the PC Compatibility Card. If
any of these items is missing, and you are having trouble using the PC
Compatibility Card, try reinstalling the software, following the instructions
in Chapter 4.

If you find the PC Setup control panel, open it. If drive C is not mapped to
a drive container or hard disk drive, create a drive container (see “Creating a
Drive Container” in Chapter 4).
