Then it was the command conrol P R that did it. I did not hear the four chimes though. It does not, but I read in some past updates that it might affect things even without wifi and bluetooth. So I installed them anyways. Any idea how to change the DPI so the text is bigger? _____ From: computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of PEGGYG827@xxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2006 4:58 PM To: computertalkshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [CTS] Re: iMac won't boot Interesting problem to have. I didn't know your imac was going to need a wireless connection. You can try booting from the CD, and using Disk First Aid on the mac... if not, then boot the mac holding down the shift key...that will boot with extensions off. then you can go in and disable the airport extensions, reboot, and see if that's what is truly causing your problem. If you have Norton Utilities for mac, that would be a very good thing. Last ditch: reinstall the OS As to your last post, holding down the power button only powers the mac off...you didn't ask how to make the iMac STOP, you asked for a boot remedy... Peggy
