I've had Pyro! 3.3 on my machine for several months and never had this problem
before yesterday:  I go to the Control Panel and select the Pyro! icon... I
get a blank message box, the cursor moves but nothing else happens, and
eventually the machine freezes.

The machine is a Mac II with a DayStar Digital Accelerator II (40-MHz 68030),
8 MB of memory, 80-MB hard disk, Apple CD SC, and Apple 40MB tape drive.  I'm
running 6.0.3, I removed everything I ever dropped into my System Folder, and
the problem recurs.

I noticed that the date on the Pyro! document in my System Folder was very
recent, as opposed to the date on the original Pyro! document I kept in my
Utilities Folder, so I replaced the one in my System Folder with a new copy of
the one in my Utilities Folder.  Well... this time the message box wasn't
blank... it was a bomb box that said "Can't load the finder" and had one
button labeled "Restart".  I pressed the "Restart" button and the machine
froze.

Any takers?
