No good, this time – whatever Word was doing, it locked everything up and I couldn't get back to the finder or the dock. If only my clients wouldn't use Word, or at least, if they did, I didn't ever have to go into the client's file to extract an illustration so that I can set it. Apologies...

Ah, didn't think of that. Thanks!

I had to reboot when Word wouldn't force quit and my startup chimes seem to have vanished. I've since run DiskWarrior, because Word and Safari both started hanging – everything seems OK but when I rebooted afterwards, still no chimes. I repaired permissions, then once again the document I was...

I have a 2100N, also connected ethernet – works perfectly under Panther.

Jimbolgs – can you let us know if it works out: I've got the same ntl set up as you have and I'd love to go wifi too.

My old HP2100N is slowly dying – so far I've always been able to resuscitate it but it's getting worse and I'm thinking it's time for a new printer, while it's still working at all. I prepare camera-ready copy for a living, so I need a reasonably fast mono laser printer: I know most people don't...

'Wear your love like Heaven' – Donovan.

I'm currently using ID 2.0.2 and Jaguar (10.2.8 on a G4 dual 1.25 GHz) but intending to upgrade both. Problem is, I am swamped with work at the moment and haven't got a great deal of time to spend finding my way around new stuff. The second problem is that, since the last Jag. software...

My version of Backup, 1.2.3, lets you choose a two hour 'window of opportunity' in the scheduler rather than a time. So yours would be showing '14.00 –15.59' (OK, a one hour fifty-nine minute window). That might have changed if you're using v2, but if it hasn't, or you're not, that would...

OMG you do have problems ... no wonder you're ranting. I did have similar problems with my public folder at first, but the various upgrades seem to have sorted everything out. What system/machine are you using? Can you 'sign up' again for a demo under another user name and see if you have the...

Anything in particular that isn't working for you? I had problems initially with Backup and with my iDisk in general, and still have problems backing up some stuff, but apart from that everything works OK for me (I'm also in the UK) now. I got all the help I needed from the forums there and the...

I'm in the UK, too. I use ntl broadband. I've had it long enough that I don't know whether they have upgraded their software to OSX but it was easy to install in OS9. Fingers crossed and touching wood, the only problems that come up are theirs, not mine.

OK, thanks. I'm going to try setting hard drive to sleep whenever possible (I already sleep the monitor, of course) and see if I get any problems with that. Otherwise I think I'll try leaving it on – it feels as if I've spent way too long trying to find a solution to this – as it doesn't seem to...

Back in the day, I used to have problems with sleeping my dp G4, up until 10.2.6. It regularly but unpredictably used to go into a coma and I would have to force restart, so I stopped sleeping it and shut down every evening. With 10.2.6 things got much better, and I noticed that it only...

Mmm, thanks Arden, did that already, and repaired permissions. I was just curious as to what was going on and why only a few messages were affected.

The mail in one of my mailboxes suddenly went haywire – some of the messages displaying the header details of other messages in the box, and some giving me a message that the contents of that particular email hadn't been downloaded (they had) and that I should go on-line to get them (I have...

Have you been to the WDS? http://forum.welldressedsim.com/ They have all the OSX info. on skins in the Mac FAQ section.

It's fine for me too and I'm glad to be back with it after the horror that was Illustrator 9. Can you be more specific about what sort of crap it runs like?

No - just a point of information in case anyone else is equally dimwitted. On the Acrobat forum there are quite a few queries about printing, and I didn't see simply restarting suggested anywhere, which is why I didn't think of it. Do I need to have a question to post? I thought I was just...

I just installed Acrobat 6 (for the second time – the first time it messed with my finder and my head so much I gave up) ( dp 1.2GHz G4, 10.2.6). Anyhoo, this time it installed OK, but when I went to print (HP2100TN), nothing happened except an extraordinarly unhelpful message that there was...
