I have been having, on and off, an annoying problem of a system freeze when
opening a folder. What I get is a sort of frozen dotted shadow outline of
the folder perimeter as it is in the process of opening.

I am using 8.5.1 on a G3 with 128 ram.

I doesn't seem to matter what the folder is/contains and it happens
sporadically.

I have done an extention reinstall from base 8.5 but have not tracked down
any culprit. Anyone come across this before?

I have done  a rebuild of the desktop and even Norton utilities reported no
fault.

Have you checked all your hardware's connections?

(a) make sure all leads and internal connectors are plugged in tight;
(b) check SCSI termination is correct;
(c) try replacing each lead (SCSI, serial, ADB) in case one is nackered.

This has worked for me in the past when I've had similar problems.

Anyway,I hope you find the solution.

Follow up to the problem - I seem to have isolated the cause. It appears to
me the control panel Formac Graphic accelerator 2.2 for promedia 40 card
which goes with the Pronitron 17/500 screen. I am running. Would be
interested to know if anyone has a similar set up.

I'm using a Promedia 40 in a 7500 604/150 112MB with 8.5.1

The current version of the control panel is 5.2.2, I assume this is what
you mean? 

Currently having no problems whatsoever.
