Blue box with a ? mark
| Fri, 10-22-2004 - 11:47am |
My MAC- one of the small models which came out five years ago in colors- just shows a blue box with a question mark in it. I can;t get it to start up. I am at a total loss because all my work at home files are on the desktip. Can someone shed some light>

I don't know Mac from Roni but did you get a start=up disk with the computer?

For what it's worth in the future, you might want to subscribe to .Mac, a service that gives you secure storage space for your data on the Mac servers, so that if your system crashes, your data is backed up. It comes with an anti-virus program as well as a backup program and other goodies. It's $99/year, however. Also, if you have a zip drive or CD burner drive, backing up to them is a good habit, also. My daughter had a G3 as you do, and at that time, she bought a zip drive for under $100 and backed up all her files to it.
Again, I hope all works out well for you and you have your data and your computer back in working order! :)
