Hi everyone, I'm on a dual 2 Ghz G5 with an nVidia 6800 Ultra 256MB, and was wondering if there is any utility out there to tweak anti-aliasing for games in 10.4 or 10.5 on this card. I've looked all over but only found a way to add FSAA using OpenGL Profiler, and you have to add the changes...

Hi all, I'm using PageMaker 7 on G4 in OS 9.2.2, and am getting an error when exporting PM files to PDF - "Cannot open the Distiller. This may be caused by not enough virtual memory...." or similar. I adjusted memory settings on PM and Distiller 5 but same issue. I've been using the Acrobat...

Hello All, I am running a Sonnet Encore 1.6 Ghz upgrade on my Digital Audio G4 - card was installed under OS X 10.4.11. I want to be able to boot into OS 9.2.2 but can't. Boot screen gets almost to the end then freezes, with or without extensions running. I would greatly appreciate any...

Hi All, I'm having problems with iTunes video playback under 10.4.11. I'm on a 733Mhz Digital Audio G4, which I realize is somewhat below the iTunes specs, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to get rid of the choppiness in video playback. My machine has a PATA drive but it is...

Hello All, I'm looking to quiet down my ol' reliable Digital Audio G4, and would like to get some opinions on which are the best 120mm case fans for this machine. The stock one that's in there now is wearing out and really getting on my nerves. I've been looking around, but could really use...

Hi All, I just bought the Doom 3 DVD and installed it - and it starts, the screen goes black, then quits. I don't have the crash log in front of me, but I think it says something about the .PK files (?) Anyway if anyone has had this kind of a problem, any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hello, all. :) I am having a problem with a Seritek/1S2 SATA card in my Gigabit Ethernet G4. I was trying to reinstall the card's firmware, and got a kernel panic during installation. Now when I start the machine with the card inside, I get an open firmware startup screen, which is frozen and...

Hi, all. I'm looking at buying a new LCD monitor, and have a question about how some old games would work on it. I've read that on most widescreen LCD monitors, older, "slideshow" games like Myst and Riven get stretched horizontally across the screen because of the monitor's aspect ratio. Is...

Hi all, I'm thinking of upgrading the Radeon 8500 in my Gigabit ethernet (1.5Ghz) G4 to a 9800 Pro. I've looked all over for comments on whether or not this card gives much better performance than the 8500 on an AGP 2X machine, but haven't found much. Can anyone give me an idea as to whether...

It there any way to spin down one internal hard drive and not all others? I have two drives in my Gigabit Ethernet G4, one of which I only need to have on when backing up. The drives are on two different busses. Is there a utility that does this? Should I just get an external drive case? Is it...

I recently had a power surge (or something) that threw my Gigabit Ethernet G4 for a loop. After reinstalling firmware all over the machine, everything works - except for the connection between my Seritek 1S2 SATA card and the IDE drive it was connected to. On the internal bus the drive works...

I recently downloaded the new demo for Myst V and found my system lacking in speed. Basically I want to tweak my hardware to optimize everything (already tweaked OS X), and am wondering what anyone else has to say on this. My system is: Gigabit Ethernet G4 Mercury Extreme 1.5Ghz CPU...

When trying to image a DVD or create a blank image, Disk Copy starts then immediately quits, and I get this error message: Date/Time: 2005-04-10 00:18:01 -0600 OS Version: 10.3.8 (Build 7U16) Report Version: 2 Command: Disk Copy Path: / APPLICATIONS/ARCHIVING/Disk...

For the last few weeks (?) I've been having a problem downloading anything directly from the Internet without control-clicking to "save link as". It was only mildly annoying until I got to a site where it can't be done that way. Don't know if I messed up a setting somewhere, or if it's a bug in...

I have been trying to change my login panel, using Interface Builder to change attributes on the login.nib file, and replacing the loginpanel.tiff file in the appropriate folder in 10.2.8. As far as I know I've done everything right, but when I log in, my new 480x360 panel is squished up into...

Anyone know of a way to use OS X's Mail to retrieve email from MSN.com? I've had to use Outlook because the MSN mail site requires a secure password (Outlook has a checkbox to enable it), but I wondered if Mail could be modified to work too. :rolleyes:

I'm having kernel panics that list a file called com.apple.iokit. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to the crashes, although the last one happened after my monitor came out of sleep. Not sure what hard/software this file is related to, but I understand it may have to do with video cards or...

Are there any OS X utilities out there that will enable placement of app icons in the finder menubar? I hate to say it, but it's one feature of Windoze that would make the OS X desktop a lot neater I hate the Dock, and would love to be able to put the trash can, etc. on the menubar. Anyone?

Sometimes when I turn on the computer, the monitor comes on then starts turning on and off repeatedly, as if it's getting a bad signal or no signal. I thought it was the video card so I put a second one in, but the problem continues. I've tried hooking up a different monitor, but get the same...

Has anyone had success using the Dazzle DV-Bridge to import TV or VHS? I can't seem to make it work with iMovie. Any help would be great!!
