Thanks, I got fed up and spent the money to upgrade which has solved the problem !

I had it in port two and my USB hub in one. I swapped them over, redid the system prefs advice but no change.

Yep done that but no success !

Thanks Cheryl. Tried that - no difference. Any other ideas ?

I have OS10.2 and Os9.2 installed so I my Classics applications will work. Thanks to everyone both OS work. The problem I have now is that my printer will work under OSX but not in Appleworks6 which I run in Classics mode. I have installed print drivers in both OS environments but with no joy...

Well, I bought the Missing Manual and realised that the problem was that you need to ensure that your version of OS9 has to be updated to 9.2 before you can get Classic working in OSX. Did that and now its working. Thanks for your help.

Cheryl, I don't have a system folder with a 9 on. I have a "System" with an X on and a system folder. I have desktop and Applications with (Mac OS 9). Run the utility or not ?

Did that but it didn't work. The message says "There is no volume with a systems folder that supports starting Classic" What do I do next ? Does this mean I have to reinstall OS9 ? If so how ?

Thanks guys. So I get it ! No matter what I think I've probably got both OSX and Classic (at least once !) on my machine? So how do I find it and ensure that when I launch a classic app from OSX it finds it ? Anyone recommend a good book on OSX for beginners ?:)

As a new Mac user this is driving me crazy ! I've got an iMac with OS X installed but I can't get Classic applications working. Logically I know I have to reinstall OS9 from disk (which I have) but how do I acually do it without overwriting OS X ?
