Hi Folks, Thanks for all your replies, its interesting to see peoples views. I think though I would definately agree with Gastroboy.... OS X is beautiful, don't get me wrong. But it still has to mature a little to be at the work horse level that OS 9 is at. Somewhere in between the...

I would be interested to hear your views, on running software under each different system. As a creative designer applications are more important to me than the OS / features. OS 9.2 Seems a lot faster at general tasks and moving around. OS X Looks nicer, colors, e.t.c - but slower...

Yes, And More creative...:D

Hi Guys, I really appriciate your comments. It seems a re-install would be the best option. Its silly to me, that everything else is working fine, but this stupid little thing I did means a re-install! One thing I am a little unsure of is will I have to go back and change all of the...

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I went to the link and downloaded the file, which seemed the answer to my prayers. But to my dissapointment, the disk copy application used to open the .dmg file would not unpack it (access privilieges!) Not sure what I can do now, as when I try to log in as...

Hi There, I created a post last night, but it was long and confusing. Here is a summary of my problem - Can anyone suggest something to do. 1 - I enabled the root user. 2 - I logged in as root, and got info on the hard disk icon. - then went to access and privileges and set to everyone...

Hi people. I wander if anyone can suggest something, Here is my problem: I read a confusing apple document that made me think enabling the root user would be a good idea to have full access privs.....e.t.c So I set it up, logged in as root. while I was root user, I thought it would...

You could do this by creating your screensaver in Flash, or Director, with the video embedded, then create a projector from the flash/director file. Then use a software Like flash jestor, or cinemac to convert the projector file into a screensaver. - works in Os 9, not sure about how OS x...

That's great guy's, Such quick replies! I would ideally like to stay away from a re-install, (unless it is less painless than I am thinking) Can I re-install OS X without it affecting my 9.2 setup? How do I unistall OS X? I have tried changing the previous users privs, and added myself...
