Start Me Up

Posting this from work because my iMac at home is on the fritz. I was attempting to do a startup in OS 9.2.2, which I've done successfully before (I usually use OS 10.1something), but instead of booting up in 9.2, all I got was a grey screen. Multiple attempts to restart changed nothing, and it was after 9pm, so I couldn't call Apple Care support. Had to spend the rest of the night actually watching TV.

But I think I've found some helpful troubleshooting documents on the Mac.com support page. I'll try these various solutions when I get home. Apparently holding down the X key during startup should give me a startup manager screen, and I can get into an OS that way. Hopefully that'll do it.

Fingers crossed.

(Luck of the Irish! Bah.)
