Empty White Box appears on the Mac Screen

[Justin23]

Hi,

I have a power Powerbook G4 with Mac OS V: 10.4.10. I have an empty white dialog box that upper's on the left-hand corner of my mac book. Is it an error message or something wrong with my screen ????

While using your Macintosh, an empty white dialog box appears by pressing > sign in the upper left-hand corner may appear. The box looks like an error message box, but there is no error message in it. Type "g" or "g Finder" will remove the empty box

The default key combination causes the box to appear is "Command-Power. The power key is the key in the upper right hand corner of an Apple or an Apple Extended Keyboard Design Keyboard. It is also called the Reset key. This key has an icon that looks like a triangle pointing to the left. The switch is also called the debugger switch, the interrupt switch or the programmer's switch.

Also, if the Command key is stuck or Power key (or the computer thinks it is stuck), typing the other of the two keys may cause this to appear. Use Key Caps to see if a key is stuck down.

This was the bug in assembly language programming, to remove this :

1. Type "g" and Return. If MacsBug was entered on purpose, either by the user or some debugging code in a program, you should be able to continue.

2. If the MacsBug screen comes right back, Type "es" and return. This is roughly equivalent to force quitting the current application. If this works, save your work in your open applications and restart the computer.

3. If the above steps fail, you can type "rs" or "rb" to restart your computer. All unsaved work is lost.

4. If none of the above options work, press Command-Control-Power or toggle the power switch to restart your computer. All unsaved work is lost.

Once the computer is no longer in MacsBug, you may remove it from the System Folder by dragging MacsBug out of the System Folder and restarting the computer.
