Hmm... Just got an Illegal Instruction error in the control panel again. Could just the presence of a bad program in a folder cause the Mac to go wonky or does it have to be 'installed' into the System folder for that to happen? I wiped my System folder and reinstalled System 6.0.8 but I'm still having problems. All I can come up with at this point is that it might be:

1. Bad ROM or Memory (unlikely as those give different errors and stop the system from booting)

2. SCSI conflict of some sort (also unlikely as the HD and CD seem to work just fine)

3. Bad copy of the System 6.0.8 disk (also unlikely)

4. Program conflict

However if it's a program conflict of some sort, why is it still there when I reinstall System 6? I have some applications like Stuffit 3.x and Disk Copy, but they're sitting in a separate folder and not being run. They're not being loaded or anything when I boot. I suppose I could just have some bad games, but then why would the control panel give me an error? I'm really stumped.
