While I am very appreciative of the suggestion, unfortunately, it didn't help. Hope we can find a solution here...

Good call! (Why can't I think of these things when I'm working on my own computer?) :) Loggin in under another user eliminates this problem, so it does seem to be a preferences thing, but I've thrown away everything under my Explorer preferences...

I have the same problem. Thanks for pointing out the excellent utility (Pacifist), but it didn't make things work for me. I can right click (i.e. control+click) download links and they work, but that's a big pain in the bohonkus and doesn't automatically decompress it when the download is...

The FAQ does seem to be up now. In case it's not when you check, I did make a PDF of the page. If you want it let me know. If you just want to read the FAQ, here it is: Title: AbiWord: FAQ URL: http://www.abisource.com/support/faq/ Date: Feb 03, 2002...

osxgnu.com's distro of the XFree86 installer worked flawlessly and painlessly! Thanks so much for pointing out that resource. Now I'm off to get a new windowing system, then Gimp, then AbiWord... Thanks! This is fantastic!

Fink is what I had tried inthe past and it didn't seem to work. It's been a while, so I'll try one of these solutions again tonite, but I'm wondering if I'll return tomorrow to say it didn't work. Let's hope not. Anyone used the OpenOSX.com programs?

Although I'm not a complete Unix newbie and know my way around a command shell, I've failed in my attempts at installing XFree86 on my Mac OS X box. I'm considering purchasing OpenOSX.com's GUI installation CDs for this and a few other packages (see link below). I have a couple of questions...

So has no one else experienced this problem? I've tried installing a Second Edition version (still OEM), but it didn't work either - exact same problem. Tried again under Mac OS 9 with the exact same problem. I can't imagine this is an isolated phenomenon.

I just purchased Virtual PC with DOS to install my own copy of Windows 98. I followed the instructions Connectix provides, but upon first launch into the newly installed Win98, I get a message telling me the Registry has a problem that can be fixed by rebooting the computer. Rebooting causes a...

I do appreciate the fedback. After another day of experimentation, I believe the mouse itself is just dying. It's light-guided mouse, so there's no chance of it being a dirty mouse problem. When I switch mice to any other of a number of mice I have here, it eliminates the problem. It seems...

I'm having trouble with my mouse (Microsoft Intellimouse 1.0) sticking and slowing down on me. It seems to have begun when I recently tried turning on Web Sharing. It's back off now, but the problem persists. I know this could just be coincidence. Anyone else have these problems and know...

There wasn't an option in the poll for "Use 9, but only in an emergency." That's me.

Why, yes I did use the 10.1 upgrade CD.

The 10.1.1 upgrade completely HOSED my system! From 10.1, I opened the Software Update panel, clicked Update Now and let it do it's work. Everything went smoothly. Reboot. Black Screen of Death! Reboot. BSoD. Shut down completely. Wait. Reboot. BSoD. I spent a good portion of...

kainjow asked: Yes and yes! Assuming you already have a Newton-compatible Ethernet card installed and functional, the rest is especially easy. 1) If you haven't already, you'll need to install Newton Connection Utilities (NCU) which is available at unna.org (click and hold that link...

Well, you know how people talk about vaporware. I figured it might have just been that - a company with big plans never delivers. I might just be thinking of GNUton - the Mac OS Newton emulator, but I could have sworn someone was promising to make it happen. If anyone has, that would...

I remember a while back someone working on a version of PalmOS for Newton. Possibly a slimware emulation project. Does anyone else remember this? Any ideas if this ever got off the ground?

Famous last words. :)

This is strictly IMO, but I do think it's been created and continues to be kept up with the PPC-native version of X. If Motorola ever goes under and IBM doesn't fit Apple's vision (either by inability or corporate incompatability), I think we'll be surprised how quickly the Intel version of Mac...

I dusted off my Newton 2100 this week to try and get my life back in order after months of chaos. I wondered how well my trusty PDA of choice would perform now that I had Mac OS X installed as my main OS. Much to my delight, I found that with a Newton-compatible Ethernet PC Card, Classic mode...
