switching from osx to os 9
« on: May 08, 2003, 02:48:00 PM »
When i'm in osx and i want to go to os9 it normally works.
now when i try that the sytem says " there are no localized classic-specific resourses to update the selected systemfolder "/macintosch hd/systeemmap".  and then " please select another systemfolder from classic preferences."
Does anyone know a way of beeing able to start os9 again while running os x?
Please note that i'm still able to start os 9 by restarting the puter.
i did thrown away a systemfolder witch was empty, and i thought i wont be needing that one."who wants two  systemfolders?"

You are trying to start classic, right? (not booting OS 9)

Did you try to do what you Mac wanted you to do?
Check your system preferences -> Classic
there you can select your MacOS 9.

I wish it was true, but when de puter says look for the systemfolder it looks allready in the right one.
In that systemfolder is system 9.2.2, i checked.
But i cannot open that systemfolder to select the os 9.2.2 system.
It's strange, perhaps any idea's?

Did you boot into OS 9 and, by any chance, turn off some extensions or something like that?

It sounds like you did something in OS 9, like turn off some extensions that OS X needs.
