Did you use Resorcerer to change the pics? If so, you could also try to right-click the Safari.app icon and select 'Show Package Contents' and replace the tifs in the Resources folder manually. Needless to say, make sure you back up everything first and keep the replacement tifs roughly the same...

Maybe not what you were after, bet you can insert fractions from the Character Palette. In the System Preferences, under the International settings, tick the box next to the Character Palette to make it available in the menu bar in the Finder. Also make sure the 'Show input menu in menu bar' box...

Why not try Firefox? It has lots of add-ons, including custom skins.

Does it strike anyone else as odd that we, who use Macs because they are more reliable and safer than PCs, are getting frustrated when we have problems installing Windows on them? It's like stabbing yourself with a fork while complaining about it hurting!

I had the same problem with my old G4 400. I had problems from day one with it. Strange problems which Apple could not help me with. Even a clean install could not fix it. Turns out it was a memory stick - the one fitted when I bought the machine new. It was a Hyundai memory module which I...

Although this sounds like more than a software problem it wouldn't hurt to try reformatting the troublesome drive (after backing up any important data of course). When reformatting using DiskUtility make sure you visit the 'Partition' tab and click 'Options' down the bottom. From the three...

They work for apps, I know that, and I can see no reason why they wouldn't work for anything that's for sale in the iTunes shop.

If Epson doesn;t have a Mac driver for it it probably isn't worth trying to get it to work under a generic driver. You will never have full functionality and most likely will have a lot of problems. Invest in a model which does have a Leopard driver. There are many to choose from and printers...

Try deleting one more file, Hard drive/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist. Drag it to the trash, then log out and in again. I don't suppose you have DiskWarrior? That's the only third party utility I use. I have only used it twice since buying it many moons ago but it reliably...

What type of XP Pro disks are you using? BootCamp needs a retail version of XP. I got the same black screen using a Dell XP disk. I had to buy an OEM version of XP Pro, which is identical to the retail version (which you can't get anymore). Also, to be sure that XP will install properly...
