** HELP! ERROR 41 **

A friend's MacIIsi crashed giving the "bomb screen" with the following 
prompt:

"A SYSTEM ERROR HAS OCCURED, FAX QUE WACTHER ERROR 41"

He can not get past this screen to check the system file and correct 
this. He was in the process of installing software for a 
ColorStyleWriter 1500 printer when the system froze and he rebooted.

Unfortunately he is fairly new to computers and his "Mac savvy" friend 
is out of town for awhile. His only immediate resource (aside from the 
repair counter) is a PC literate; me.

Can some one in MAC LAND give this humble PC-phile some pointers to 
remedy this problem. I am aware my description of the problem is 
insufficient for a specific answer, but I sure would appreciate some 
guidlines on this matter.

Please email me directly.

Thanks in advance,

Mark Q
