Error type 25?
Hi,
was using my new Performa today when Desktop Pictures cp crashed, and i had to do a hard restart (from the keyboard), and now all it displays on bootup is a messages saying there is an error of type 25. There is a very fast message that pops up before it, but it goes off way too fast to read it.
What is a type 25 error, and how do i fix it?

If I recall, 25 is "out of memory".
Try restarting with your shift key down. Also, don't rule out a corrupt Desktop Pictures panel or even a virus. If the shift key doesn't do the trick, restart from a Disk Tools or similar disk with Disinfectant on it. (Also copy Agax over in case it's a SevenDust infection).

Take it on a camcorder.
This sounds like some malicious activity to me. As I said, run Disinfectant/Agax...but that box isn't from any virus I know of (I am familiar with most of the viruses from 1995 and earlier--they were documented really well in Disinfectant and I must have read that documentation about 50 times every year around then to keep up with everything).

It got kinda cut off, but here's basically what it says.

Its hard to tell in this uploaded version. Its easier in QuickTime, where you can pan precisely to the point. If anyone wants the actual video file to view in Quicktime, PM me.

I see it's a 578. Use a System 7.5 disk tools floppy, Apple should have one on their website. Rebuild your desktop when you start up. Some viruses manifest themselves there (though most of them didn't attack System 7 if I recall...I know CDEF doesn't and I'm pretty sure WDEF doesn't either).
Also, Disinfectant and Agax are both free. They're small enough you can fit them on a disk tools floppy if you get rid of Apple HD SC Setup and Disk First Aid.
