Hi fellow OS7 users, recently I've tried to run a pre OS 7 game on my LC III. It wouldn't run but produce a lot of graphical glitches. I was able to close it using command + Q but the desktop wasn't rebuilt, it remains totally messed up. Even the mouse cursor is not visible anymore. Of course I could reach out for the power button and restart it that way, but I was wondering - Is there a key combination to tell my 68k Mac to reboot the system? (hint: I'm using Mac OS 7.1) |

Pressing the power button on the keyboard should bring up a dialog box asking if you wish to restart or shutdown. Shutdown is selected by default so hitting the return key should shut down the keyboard. You can select the cancel or restart options by pressing the tab key. Even if the screen is badly messed up, or not showing at all you can typically shutdown by pressing the power key, waiting 30 sec +/- to give the dialog box time to appear, then pressing the return key. bill

Thanks a lot for the answer. Unfortunately my keyboard doesn't seem to have a power button and that's why I was asking for a key combination (sort of an adequate to ctrl - alt - delete on windows machines). I'm lazy, don't wanna reach out for the power button every time

What older Mac keyboard do you have that does't have a power button?

The ctrl-alt-del equivalent is command-control-power. It will immediately start rebooting. Every mac keyboard I've seen has a power key - it's usually at the top with a triangle on it.
