Today, there is a sudden failure to start. No matter how many times you restart the computer, it is useless. There is no prompt for starting. Only a white window appears and disappears immediately after 1 second. This is also the result of the old version of sheetshaver. Is there a conflict with some processes in the system?

Please give us more information.

Which is your host system
Do you use a regular SheepShaver setup as described in our setup manual?
If so, which SheepShaver build (build date!) do you use?
Which is your guest system?

With "No matter how many times you restart the computer" I suppose you mean restarting the host. Correct?

What do you mean with "no prompt for starting"?

I understand that everything worked fine and now it doesn't. Correct?
Did you change anything in the host system?
Did you change anything in the guest?
Did you change anything in SheepShaver settings?

Did you try with a backup copy of the virtual HD image file?
