Hi,
I am running Rosetta 5.24 on Mac OS X, latest and greatest. It had been running fine until this morning when the Rosetta screen saver kicked in and now my machine is hung, not just hung it is totally locked up. It is locked on the screen saver screen. The display is not updating, its just flat out 'stuck'. I cannot interrupt it, I cannot get to terminal to kill it, I cannot even turn the power off my iMac. At this point all I think I can do is to pull the plug.

I hate to just pull the plug on my iMac. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks :)

I managed to get myself out of this. I should of first done a better search on this forum first. F11 did get me back to my desktop and from there I was able to force quit.

Thanks :)

is there a reason you don't want to pull the plug on your iMac. It's not like it's going to hurt it or anything.
