Hi all.

I recently reinstated an OS9 System Folder from my backup, but for reasons beyond my comprehension (doing this under OSX may have helped), ConflictExtension was renamed _ConflictExtension, which under OS9 loads LAST!

Not only did this crash the system BADLY just before the desktop, it would, without fail, corrupt the B-tree of the hard drive, necessitating a full Disk First Aid runthrough.

If you are having similar issues, check and see if you can rename a troublesome early-loading extension. I believe I used to rename with an option-key combination, but all the ones I try now are visible (this one was invisible). Simply renaming with a SPACE at the start solved all the issues. I was very paranoid that I had gone to all that trouble to install a BROKEN HDD !!!

FYI.
