Alsoft DiskWarrior - 2.0 Instruction Manual

If after installing DiskWarrior, your Mac OS computer begins behaving abnormally, you may be 
experiencing an “extension conflict.” Extension conflicts are incompatibilities between software 
that extends your System, such as System extensions, Control Panels and Chooser extensions. 

Typical symptoms of conflict with a newly installed extension are:

1) An extension’s startup icon is not displayed normally (indicating it could not load 

properly). 

2) Your Mac OS computer “stalls” during startup. 
3) Your screen freezes and/or the mouse becomes inactive. 
4) A System error occurs.

Some common sense rules for installing any extension into your System Folder:

1) Add only one (1) extension at a time. 
2) Test the new extension. 
3) Test your previously installed extensions. 
4) Test your applications. 
5) If no problems, install your next extension.

If none of the startup icons for DiskWarrior are displayed at startup and you have some type of 
extension management utility program (Extensions Manager, Now Startup Manager, Conflict 
Catcher, etc.), verify that your utility has ENABLED the DiskWarrior Extension.
