Repairing permissions, or in your case Rebuilding the Desktop, done regularly (once a month maybe) can keep your hard drive in top shape.
MAC OS 9 does not have a single user mode, it always is in single user mode.

I would suggest, make a good (multiple) backup of all your data and replace (or at least add) the harddrive. If the computer is oke for the rest, why spend money. Also in some occassions programs which work under OS 9 do not run perfect under classic.

Newer is not always better and for some even a lot worse (VISTA !!!).


Therefore try to find a machine which can boot OS 9 also.


Good luck, Kees
