Thanks, I got it working now. I set both systems to follow time.nist.gov. XP shows the wrong time for about 3 seconds but then sets itself to the correct time. I can live with that. And now when restart in OS X it always displays the correct time. It was driving me nuts because I have...

Installing XP Home SP3 with Boot Camp went smoothly and works great, but each time I restart back into Leopard, the clock is off by about 6 hours. If I reset the time in OS X, then the next time I boot Windows, its time is off by about 6 hours. Anyone else having this problem? I did some...

Have you tried creating a battle.net account and linking the game to your account? That's what I did for Diablo II. Enter the CD key that came with your game and Blizzard gives you a digital download link for your particular game. Diablo II and LoD installed without a problem, so maybe...

Thanks for alleviating my concerns. I checked the AppleCare Service receipt and it lists PCBA,MLB,2.4GHZ,REV2 as one of the replacement parts. So I'm guessing that's v2 of the logic board with the new 8600m gt chip on it. The repair was done back around October last year and I haven't had...

I feel as though my Macbook Pro has a permanent death sentence. It's Nvidia 8600M GT chip burned out within a year of purchase, but luckily still within warranty. I bought AppleCare to cover it for the next three years just in case it happens again. But the horrible thing is that I know...

I have a problem with my sister's iMac DV SE. She went to turn it on the other day, the power button flickered on for a second and then nothing happened. I checked the power cord and tried again, and still, it won't turn on. You could very faintly hear the CRT start to turn on but only for...

I'll email her tonight and see if it fixes anything. Thanks.

A friend of mine in Ohio is having problems with her ISP settings. She has been using Juno but switched to another ISP and didn't like it Here is what she has emailed me so far: "I tried using Internet Connect again and removed all other ISP's info. Then I put in all the Juno info and let...

I have seen a program called Willmaker for the PC so I was wondering if anyone knows if such a program, be it freeware or shareware, exists that'll run on 10.4.6.

I use Freemind and it's free. Check out the link below: http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Thanks for the advice. I just bought a 50-pin drive on eBay. Hopefully I'll have the old Mac up and running later this week.

Where can I pick up a larger hard drive for the 7300? It has a SCSI bus so I can't use an IDE drive. I partitioned the drive but there wasn't enough space for Yellow Dog to install.

So my current expiry date is April 16th, 2007. Does this mean my @macosx.com account will be active until then and then I have the choice to let it run out or renew again, but this time with AcuNett? If I renew will my new address be something like gollum84@acunett.com?

I just got this email today about my email address expiring, but I renewed it back on March 14 and I still have the receipt from Paypal. Here is what the message said: Hi Matthew, Your account with Digital Crowd, gollum84.macosx.com, has expired. Please let me know if you would like to...

So I should get Yellowdog 3.0.1 and burn the .iso to a cd. Do I need to erase the hard drive first, or just put in the cd, reboot and hold down the "c key" to boot from the Yellowdog disc.

I need to know which Linux distro would be best for my old PowerMac 7300? It has OS 8.5.1 on it now with 288MB RAM, PowerPC 604e 200MHz processor and a 2GB hard drive.

I just bought a Belkin Wireless G Plus Router to network my four computers together. On the network are my PowerMac G4, iMac DV/SE, Dell Inspiron 5150 and the trouble-maker my PowerMac 7300 running OS 8.5.1. All of my other computers can connect to the internet but not the 7300. I was able to...

Would it be easier to get one of these and plug it into the iMac's ethernet port? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000637RGQ/002-3095595-0241612?v=glance&n=172282

I just bought an Airport Extreme card for my G4 and I am slowly making all the computers in my house wireless. My problem is with my iMac DV/SE. It can take an original Airport card but I went looking online, and these things cost around $120! So I was wondering if there was a wireless usb...
