Two more things to update Spiceyokooko. First of all, the floppy disk that often shows up is definitely a question mark, never an X. Second of all, I am no computer expert, but I have an idea about what the problem might be. My quadra has 44mb of ram, as displayed by the "about this macintosh" screen. On this screen, where the unused amount of ram is displayed, this number is constantly flickering between different amounts, the number never stays constant even long enough for me to read it. Could this be a hint that the Ram needs to be reseated? Reply at your convenience.
