Try resetting your Newton then hold the pen about halfway on the screen,
about 1/2 inch from the left edge. You should be presented with a dialog
that will ask if you want to activate packages on the internal store. Tap
"No", then hold the pen again if you have an external card. This way, you
should be able to boot your Newton without activating any package. Delete
the offender and reset your Newton again, this time let the packages
activate. See if it works.
