Try removing the 7th extension only.  If that doesn't work try the 8th.

Only one, maybe trivial suggestion; 7.5.1 comes with Extensions Manager.
Have you opened it up to check that it's not got most of your extensions
switched off?

Just to let everyone know, I've sorted out the problem.

For some reason, the "No INITs" bit of lots of my
Control Panels and Extensions had been flipped to ON.
Apparently this can happen due to a weird crash.

I basically needed to turn off the "No Inits" bit in the
extensions and control panels which weren't showing up.
This can be done using Get File/Folder Info�  in ResEdit,
or by using a utility like Snitch or Drop*Info which allow
the various settings, type and creator values etc. of files to
be easily changed.

Apparently, it doesn't matter if I turn off the "No Inits" bit
on ALL of them. As the system runs them the next boot, it will
turn the bit on for those that should have it on.

I got this answer from the SYSOP on the Mac New Users/Help forum
on CompuServe.

Thanks for all your help,

Howell Parry.

I've got a bizarre problem with my system at the moment. I'm
running System 7.5.1 on a PowerBook Duo.

When the machine boots up, only 7 or so of my extensions show
up. At least 20 should show up. When I open up the Extensions
Manager, lots of my extensions and control panels do not appear
in the list. For some reason, lots of them are ignored by the system.

One possible solution is that you have a sticky key on the key board.
An alternative is that you have conflict cathcher running.

Unlike extension manager which moves unused inits to a separate 
"unused" folder. Conflict catcher controls tha l;oading of the inits at 
boot time. They can still appear in the relecvant vfolders but be 
inactive. Several options within conflict catcher can hide its operation. 

Best of Luck Tony.

I can't choose to switch them off, because as far as the Extensions Manager is
concerned, they just aren't there - so they will NEVER be loaded at bootup.
