I am not sure what software is installed in a Power mac that we have. If any errors occur a white box appears on the screen and read:

You have duplicate dcmds named rzdb
You have duplicate dcmds named drd
You have duplicate dcmds named pp
You have duplicate dcmds named findsym

These words are small and there is a bunch of other letters on this white box as well. Just non of them make sense to me, I have no idea how to get passed this white box so, so when this occurs I find I have no other recourse but to shut it down.

Could anyone tell me what this white box is?? It sometimes appears with a bunch of red letters acting as a Really annoying boarder

To get some help. I would post the version of the OS, machine and spec.

However, it sounds like a kernal panic if you are using OS X.

I would repair permissions, and possibly do an archive install.

And fsck by booting into SUM. Hold down Apple S during startup.
