Like I said zapping the PRAM does fix the start up panel
freezing but only until the next time I want to switch
systems. This is maddening. I have trashed the Xpostfacto
control panel but the problem remains. I'm using 9.2.2
and have never had trouble with the start up control panel
before trying Xpostfacto.
