My machine crashes consistenyly under the following conditions:

I have all inits disabled (using NOW Startup Manager) except Norton Utilities File Saver version 1.0.1 and Gatekeeper Aid version 1.1.  I have also moved NOW Startup Manager out of the system folder, to make sure it wasn't the problem.

If go to the File Saver control panel and turn "Save Finder's Get Info comments on" the machine will crash when I press the save button.  If I leave that off, I can turn the save format and unerase and file saver buttons on with no problem.  It makes no difference whether File Saver or Gatekeeper Aid loads first, but it does make a difference whether multifinder or finder is running -- the problem only happens under multifinder.

I don't suppose there's anyone out there who is in a position to investigate this problem?  For now I'm just leaving the save get info comments off, since I don't need it anyway, but it's still a pain.

Thanks, Trevor Smedley
