Greetings ( + )!( + ) John thanks of the reply, what I'd forgotten to mention is that if I change my monitor's resolution from 1280x960 at 60Hz to say 640x480at 85Hz before trying to switch from 10.3.9 to 9.2.2 everything goes okay. If I don't change the screen resolution when the OS 9.2.2 loads it will load with the 640x480 resolution and after it loads and tries to switch back to the 1280x960 60Hz is when the platform gets locked-up. I'm sorry for not including all of the detail in my first posting.
