Something is in your Apple Menu folder in the system folder that is causing the problem (possibly a Real Audio startup thing or similar.) Remove it from the Apple Menu file and the problem ought to be solved. If necessary, remove all non-essential things from the Apple Menu folder and try putting them back in one by one if the Startup sequence works. You'll soon track down the guilty party.

If there is nothing in the Apple Menu Folder that is causing a problem, remove the Apple Menu Folder from the System and create a new one, or reinstall the System from the original disk(s).

i have already determined that the item in the apple menu folder called Apple Menu Items, which allows submenus to appear withih the apple menu will prevent a complete startup. i want to use that extension. whats wrong?
Look carefully at the items you have in that submenu. I think that one of them is trying to execute a command that creates an infinite loop, which is why I suggested removing all the items except for the usual ones that the original setup would install there, and putting them back one by one.

Perhaps if you listed the items presently in the Apple Menu (and any sub-menus in it) it would give us a clue.
