I have never seen SilverKeeper cause a problem with another app, and  
I have many clients using it.

If you reinstall os9 and it is a corrupt Preference, you will still  
have the problem.

Before reinstalling, try dragging the Preferences folder that is  
inside the System Folder to the desktop and restart immediately.

See if the problem persists. If not, there is a corrupt preference,  
now you must narrow down what is causing the problem.

Otherwise trash the new Preferences folder, and move the one that is  
on the desktop back into the System Folder, restart and reinstall os9.
