Deborah,

OK the image on the left is called a Kernel Panic (a bit like the old 
system error). The image on the right suggests a video issue.

OS X is more discerning than OS 9 so there are a few things that may 
cause the kernel panic.

Did this machine have any additional 3rd party RAM added?, a new 
video card? Is the SCSI card standard?

Try removing any additional cards that have been added to the machine 
or any non standard (non Apple) RAM.

What model machine are we talking about anyway?
