TOPIC

    I am repeatedly getting the system bomb "ID=10" on my Macintosh. What does it mean?


DISCUSSION

    ID=10 is a line 1111 trap error caused by software difficulties. The first thing to do is:

    1. Remove all extensions (INITs) and control panels from the System Folder and restart.
    2. If you're no longer getting ID bombs, replace the extensions and control panels, one at a time, until you get the error again. The last one put in is likely the cause of the crashes.


    If you are still getting the crashes after removing everything, remove the entire System Folder and reinstall a new copy form your System disks using the Installer. If you still get the bombs at this point, determine whether this always happens when using a particular application. If so, replace that application. Also, verify that your application is the most current version available and fully compatible with your Macintosh model.
