For some reason my Classic environment stopped working. Whenever I try start it just hangs. I haven't made any changes recently so I don't know what the deal is.

and does anyone have any idea how I can go about fixing this problem. I hve never been os9 user so I don't have a clue.
I tried rebuilding the desktop with no results.

So you have successfully selected a Classic System Folder to use for Classic right? (Have you looked through all the options in the Classic Preferences?)
At what point in the OS9 boot process does it hang? (What are you seeing?)
You may need to start OS9 with extensions off, or even reinstall OS9?

i had a problem yesterday with my Classic environment. I just deleted the System Folder and replaced it with a fresh one from another computer which is able to run Classic. That's kind of extreme though, and kind of risky. First, just try shutting down your computer and trying again before doing anything drastic. It worked for me though. Just make sure that there's all the 39 items in the System Folder when you copy it over. I had to copy it to a firewire drive first, then copy it to the new computer for it to work.

Basically it never seems to get going. I tell it to start but then the desktop never shows and the progress bar remains empty. Eventually I stop it and move on.
I tried starting with the extensions off and I got the same result.
Whatever the problem is I think it is preventing me from printing also. Crap.

So you are seeing the OS9 Desktop with progress bar, but nothing happening...
(no idea what to do next...can we even be sure you have a valid System Folder, even if it is selected properly?)
I'd say reinstall 9 from CD..It's not that hard.

Pour a bucket of sand into the back grill.
That should do it.
