Frequent Bombs and Hangs

PRoblem

Bombs, hangs or otherwise misbehaves frequently while using MacNail construction software---Macintosh system 6

Diagnosis

• replace misbehaving applications and/or data files
• try running without INITS: hold down shift key while restarting. If this fixes temporarily, need to remove INITS, re-add them one by one. Changing INIT booting order sometimes helps.
• rebuild desktop-- control shift option when first starting the computer (or mounting floppy etc)

Solution

also might help:
• check System heap (system 6 only)-- 'About the Finder' shows memory--white space in System should be 15% or more. Use 'heapfixer' or other utilities to adjust it.
• check for virus infestation
• zap the PRAM-- control shift option and enter control panel

XL 4.0 has also been giving problems to some people.
