Powerbook won't start up

Hi,

Yesterday I installed Pluggo to my Mac Powerbook, but was not on the internet. when it prompted me to do the Ilok unlocking, I tried to cancel, as I wasn't on the net, but the message kepy coming up to prompt me. I did a force quit, and shut down the computer.

I now cannot turn on the Powerbook, as it gets stuck on the first screen (Apple logo and rotating sign). I tried putting the CD rom in whilst powering up, but no luck. Any suggestions?

thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael.
I know this Problem with 10.2.8 from one minute to the other
my Sys doesn`t start up only the grey Screen with A Logo and the progress bar.I think the Kernel makes trouble so you have two options:
1.Reinstall the whole stuff // or recover
or try to change the Boot rom and the Kernel maybe it helps
