I think you're both right , as i was previously installing a lot of web browsing files like amitcp etc.
Aweb resp. ClassAct is usually the culprit.
Anyway i thought about doing the bb1 update but will i need the os 3.9 cd?
Yes, you need the CD to install a boingbag. Or at least all files from the CD.
Actually you are not allowed to run OS 3.9 if you don't own the CD.
I see i don't have a file called "classes" in my system, this is bad news
It is a directory not a file and I am sure you have it, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to display a background picture (wbpattern) or open picture files in multiview.
