Could a .smi or installer disk image be in the Login Items in your System Preferences? I had that happen on my wife's computer once, with similar results. EDIT: And check out DiskWarrior. It's a "must-have" tool for directory problems.

Just download the free ResEdit. Fire it up in Classic, and create a new resource of type CURS. You can create the cursor in ResEdit's rudimentary cursor editor. Open ResEdit, and select New from the File menu. Then select Create New Resource from the Resource menu. Use the cursor editor to...

To use a custom cursor in RB, just create your crosshair cursor resource in any resource editor (ResEdit under Classic will work), and drag the resource file to your RB project. Then, when you need to change the cursor in your game, use the MouseCursor property of the relevant object. Look...

The "site" in "site license" customarily indicates that a certain number of computers on the same premises (site) can run the software concurrently. They usually disallow software used off-site, and invariably disallow software being used on a computer that is not even owned by the licensee...

Bzzzzzzzt! Please try again. :) Most single-user license agreements stipulate a single computer and backup copies. Some companies extend this to include a single portable, as well, as long as both are not concurrently in use. Adobe, for example, has their license agreements available for...

I have a dual 1 GHz Quicksilver with flaky built-in Ethernet. I popped in an Asante Ethernet card several months ago, and it works great. :) Just configure your Network Preferences Pane so that your PCI card's port is the only one active, and you should have no problems.

Cat, I sympathize with what your financial situation was at that time. I've been there, too. Several times. :( When people start saying things like "is technically illegal," (emphasis mine) that's a dead giveaway for rationalization. If it were me (and I have been in similar...

I am not lumping everything that is immoral with all that is illegal. I am simply stating that, in this instance, pirating software is both immoral and illegal. Perhaps the "immoral" part is IMHO, but I think that pirating software instead of buying it is depriving at least some hard-working...

Have you -- er, has one :D -- tried mounting it via the terminal? Does the drive appear on reboot? If bootable, does the drive appear when restarting, holding down the option key?

I am glad to hear that you are not attempting to justify piracy.:cool: It also means that there are "a lot of people out there" who are pirating their software, and are quite likely to continue doing so. Few software pirates express a desire to 'go straight,' especially when they feel that...

Are you serious? This is simply another rationalization to justify stealing intellectual property. :mad: One of the many fallacies in this argument is the phrase "in a situation where the person really wouldn't be able to afford it otherwise." If you can't see the flaw in that logic...

Why would that dazzle you? Do you not know what goes into creating an app as complex as Photoshop? Software may seem like it's "only data," but some very talented people worked very hard to create that data. And "everyday apps for everyday people" reads, IMHO, like a rationalization. Pardon...

Fetch Art for iTunes gets the art, but AFAIK it's not easily modifiable since it's stored in the tags. -- Steve

I feel the same way. I can't imagine using a Mac without LaunchBar installed. It takes some people a little time to get used to, but it is the best system enhancement I have ever used. :cool: -- Steve

To make this menu appear for the current user, create a "Scripts" folder at ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts (where "~" is your home directory), then put at least one AppleScript there. The menu will appear as an Applescript icon between the Window and Help menus, and you can run scripts by selecting...

fsck -y might solve your problems, but it might not. If it solves your problem, then you do not need to try re-installing 10.2.6. If fsck -y does not help, then you have other options, including checking for hardware/software conflicts and reinstalling the OS. If you do end up reinstalling...

fsck runs the "filesystem consistency check and interactive repair" routine, the parameter -y means to "Assume a yes response to all questions asked by fsck." To find out more about fsck than you perhaps ever wanted to know :p, open your Terminal and type man fsck -- followed by the return...

ROTFL! :D -- Steve

Well, the LCCDaemon file supports the Logitech Control center. Do you have a Logitech mouse or input device? I'm guessing that SymSecondaryLaunch does something for a Symantec product, such as NAV or Norton Utils. -- Steve

Those are disk images, and the vlc one is VideoLAN Client. There are many reasons why this could be happening. One is crosslinked files. Have you tried starting in single-user mode (restart, hold down command-s until the text streams across the screen) and doing a fsck -y? Another...
