Nary:

Thank you for the reply.  I believe the problem occurred when I installed
the software that came with the board.  After many attempts I have corrected
most of the problems.  Frankly this was shades of OS 9 with extension
problems.  Safe boot is what ultimately led me to the solution

There is still one component not working and that relates to ATI TV out
kernel extension.  I have no idea where it is or how to find it.  I have
attached a copy of the extension found in the system:library:extension file
relating to ATI.  If you are willing could you compare them and let mo know
if any are missing?

Thank you.


Ron
