Hi,

My name is Dave, Im new. I have a question for ya. I'm a tech at a school district and for a couple years now we have been phasing out all the macs and replacing them with PC's. Anyways, on one of the e-macs everything seems to be working fine, but when we open up this one program that the kids play the screen goes black never happens with anything else. This happened awhile ago and I reset the P-Ram, the date was wrong and this screwed up the computer for some reason, but that seemed to work. Now it doesnt. Not sure where to go from here. Oh its running OS 9 and has a significant amount of space on it left. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You
 
A black screen could mean a lot of things, most of which aren't catastrophic. You've probably got a corrupted driver, sprocket, or Open GL component. I cannot believe you're running OS 9 in 2008 and phasing out Macs with PC's, but to each school district their own, I guess.

As for the date thing... resetting the PRAM will do that, yea, and it'll also revert to original display settings (maybe thousands of colors at 800 x 600, I don't know), but at any rate you'll have to reset those yourself.
