I recently installed Greg Smith's Finder Sounds and found it to be a lot
of fun, if not particularly useful.  I ignored his suggestion to increase
Finder's application size, but everything seemed to work okay.  Then,
silence.  When I tried to modify the Finder's app. size, I got a system
bomb with a flickering screen sometimes, other times the mouse would dis-
appear and no response from the keyboard either.  Finally, by uninstalling
most of my INITs and turning off MultiFinder, I was able to modify the
Finder (using Get Info from the File menu).  Then, I reinstalled Finder
Sounds and rebooted.  Silence again!  Now, this morning, I turn it on and
start opening folders, etc., and suddenly, Finder Sounds is alive and well
again!  

What's going on?  I'm running System 6.0.4 on an SE/30 with 5 Meg.  Is
there some undetected virus causing intermittent problems?  (I've checked
the entire 40-meg hard disk with Disinfectant 1.6.)  Has anybody else had
similar trouble with Finder Sounds?
