Upgraded OS9 system failure

Hi

I have downloaded an upgrade from OS9.1 to 9.2 from the apple site.

My machine will now not start. Before I zapped the PRAM it jammed up after the first extension appeared on the desktop. After zapping the PRAM it now jams after all extensions appear.

I cannot start it from a boot disk. That gives me a window with nothing written in it, and jams.

I also cannot start it with 'extensions off'

Naturally I am writing this post on another computer...

Any help would be appreciated

Regards

Bruce
