The TOPS installer replaces INIT 31 (the one that takes care of
running INITs in other files) with its own version.  Scrap your System
file and start over, or maybe you can use ResEdit to get an INIT 31
out of a virgin System and paste it into yours.

Moral:  Don't use the TOPS Installer.  Distrust anything that mucks with
your System file.
