mac 7600 running 9.2.2 starup issues

[madmann]

I have a mac 7600 with a sonnet g3 400 crescendo card. I used os 9 helper to get 9.2.2 running on the machine and it works great except that if i run microsoft excell 98 it installs a bunch of extensions that i have to remove to get the machine to startup again. I can trash the microsoft extensions and it weill boot right up. any ideas?

i needed 9.2.2 to run the software extension for the radeon 9200 graphics card

I will get the file names that i have to remove and post latter as well as total ram

thanks

Honestly you should just hunt down Office 2001, shouldn't be that hard to find for just pennies.

Thanks oh great one! I most likely have a copy some where that may be the hot set up I will keep you posted.

well I stared to install 2001 and low and behold it would not start up.

I was starting to think the hd was bad booted up system works and everything checked out ok. so what the heck.

after much swapping parts etc i found where a small friend cut thru 1 wire one on the outside "the striped wire" of the scsi ribbon cable. So i soldered in a small jumper to reconnect the wire and joy everything works great!! and fast after everything was running i found 2001 already installed. so far all is well. I have been getting a lot of type 3 errors so i up the memory to the program and it appears to be working
