OK I give up - someone tell me about Mac OS (7.5.7) extensions. After getting our Mac we had several clashes - some fiddling around and we got rid of all the problem ones. Now my daughter has got a new program that clashes with - guess what - our PPP extension - eek! So at the moment we have to start up, reset the extension (and virtual memory - it causes some of her games problems too) - then restart. THEN repeat it before we can use the internet. So - the questions: Is there any way of resetting all these things in one easy step - a script sounds good but the Extensions manager is not scriptable (as, I have found, are a lot of other programs and controls). Why does the extensions manager not control all of them? If I turn them all off and look in the extensions folder it is still full of stuff. Files like Apple Guide files and so on I can understand but many of them are real extensions! Er - that will do for now - any ideas people?
