[Ham-Mac] Alarm clock

[Chris Smolinski]

Two possibilities I can think of:

1. Find a copy of the alarm clock DA, and see if it will still run on
7.6.1 (scan around the HD and see if it may be lurking somewhere, also
check to see if there is an extension or INIT for the alarm clock,
perhaps removing the file will get rid of it for you)

2. Zap the PRAM, the settings may be stored in there. There are
utilities to do this, some Macs let you do this with certain key
combinations.
