Where I looked? System Preferences/Desktop. When you click on that icon you get this: ...but when I clicked on it it also had a similar choice button as the "collection button", on the right next to the choosen picture. With that button I could chose tiles, fill screen etc. Nevermind...

Thank for your input and tips. I both have P-shop and GC so I can work around things but the wierd thing is....it was there, I tell you! The option to choose in System Prefs, tile, center etc was there and I used it (!) and I might put in there that I dont have OS9 at all on my HD. Have...

I have no straight answer to this one and I'm sertainly not good with PCs..but I do have some suspiscions... VirtualPC and all but, you're still running on a Mac. I wouldn't be so sure about hooking up Compaq stuff to a Mac and run a sync without anykind of patch or extention for VirtualPC...

I dont understand...just a sec ago I had choices in my System Preferences/Desktop to either center my choosen desktop picture, fill the screen, tile and some other thing. When I opened the System Prefs/Desktop again, while fiddeling around with pictures, the choice was gone! Now...

Oh, and btw...Nisus Writer looks to be the best out there to choose from but the only problem with that is that there seems not to be a way to download it (for a tryout) than buying it at the same time. /G

Converting files is not the issue. Finding a word processing alternative to M$'s Office is though. At least a good one that wont cost you a multitude OR...save in strange formats OR...have a terminal interface/run in Apples X11. Perhaps I just have to simply wait for better days to come...

Mellel seems to be quite a nice little application though....I cant save the files to anything else than .mell which wont open with M$ Word. If it werent for that I'd jump for joy. Whats the point in making such an app. if its not going to open in other more used alike programs? Regards, /G

I can only talk for myself and I seek a stand alone app. for simple word processing and making spreadsheets. One without mail and other stuff stucked into it. And of course...theres no sence in an application that makes files that wont open with any other apps than itself. The point is to...

One does'nt have to download the whole RealPlayer program to listen to .rm files. Use RealOne for that: http://www.versiontracker.com/mp/new_search.m?productDB=mac&mode=Quick&OS_Filter=MacOSX&search=RealOne&x=0&y=0 About converting those kind of files I have no answer. AudioHijack...

Well, the first thing I thought of when reading your post was ICQ! That app. definitely makes a "knock-knock" sound when someone goes online. If you're using another chat application like ICQ there is a fair chance that that app. perhaps uses the "knock-knock" sound from ICQ. That is the...

I, too, would like to jump on this train/thread and simply ask for other alternatives to AppleWorks or (God forbid)...M$'s Office X. I have looked into OpenOffice and Im thrilled with the work getting on with this application but... You still have to trix some to open up OpenOffice...

That's interesting to hear. So I'm not alone. But it still does'nt really tell us why this happens. To you, Hybernate, it seems to happen at a special time. For me randomly. /G :cool:

Got the latest firmware and the only thing that is irritating is not knowing why this happens :) Its first my curiosity that bugs me. Regards, /G

Hi there. I have a strange thing happening to my iPod at times. When its off, unplugged it sometimes lights up for a second with nothing on the display. Just light up and then after that turnes the light off again. It has totally perplexed me. What in the name of *** is that? I sware...

If someone has schizophrenia socializing more is not the right cure :D no! Im not kidding. Btw, its could be me he´s hearing. Im a woman without a deepish voice but...I can fake that If I wanna. ;) /G

Ok. Found the answer... dselect in Terminal! :) With a little reinstalling 'all packages' via dselect commandline et voila! /G

Ok, it was fixed but now when trying to install the "system-xfree86" (Placeholder package for manually installed XFree86), I get this error: dpkg: error processing /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/system-xfree86_4.2-5_darwin-powerpc.deb (--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script returned...

I also get the same when booting in verbose mode. Its irritating to not know what it means. Ok, so one shouldnt bother "if ones not using 2 monitors" but....thats not an answer to as if there IS an error within the Nividia card or not. I mean, what of those who would, rather, want to use...

Ok, I´ll try again and ask, mabye this time I´ll get lucky :D : what does this line mean - "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." Anyone has an idea? Regards, /G

Nope :( Still get this: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." When I try to install a game in FinkCommander. *Blah*
