    greying out of document icons

    To turn this off use View:Show View Options (cmd-j) in the Finder. Then uncheck Show Icon Preview. You can make this the default behavior if you like. (Be sure you in a folder in Icon View) Note that if you select an icon with a preview and press the space bar Leopard will show you the contents...

    Inkwell handwriting recognition quality

    I have a Wacom tablet and I rarely use it with Inkwell. I did try a few things in response to your posting. There is some fine tuning you can do with the letter spacing and other things that improves the accuracy. Writing in script is pretty much a bust, but I was surprised at how much...

    Finder runs very slow after Leopard update

    If this is immediately after the upgrade then Spotlight may be working very hard in the background. If this is still a problem 24 hours later, then start with Disk Utility. RonMan

    Using GDI printer on with Mac OS X

    MisterMe, It proves that not all GDI printers are paperweights. If you can determine the original manufacturer, then drivers for Mac OS X may be available. If you can't determine the manufacturer, then yes you have a paperweight. RonMan

    Using GDI printer on with Mac OS X

    In the case of the Dell 1110 the printer is actually a Samsung. The Samsung drivers work just fine. The printer is USB. What you need to do is determine who actually makes this thing (Dell does NOT make this printer). The original vendor usually supports the Mac (not all but most). After...

    Hex editor for Mac to open file larger than 2 GB.

    I have asked this question before and no answers were forthcoming. You can use HexEdit, but it tries to load the entire file...come back in 30 minutes if it does not crash. Please post anything that you might find. I still need to do this as well. RonMan

    Oracle software

    Available tools include Navicat, Oracle SQL Developer on others. There is little that is not available. I have not checked on TOAD, but I would be surprised if were not available. RonMan

    Quake 3

    Goodfellaship, Despite the fact that a lot of games and software are available via torrents and other means macosx.com is about the supporting the Mac in a legal fashion. That said, if you are having a problem with Classic, state that, but you won't get much help on using a pirated piece of...

    Fontbook or Suitcase on Tiger?

    My take would be neither. In another discussion (I can't find it right now) several of us suggested using Linotype FontExplorer X. It works great and is free (at the moment). You can find it here: http://www.linotype.com/fontexplorerX Down side: it is still in beta and can be crashed, but is...

    Editing/Browsing Really Big Files

    I wish that grep and such would work but these are raw data file that have difficult to see relationships between records. Eventually it all goes into mySQL where I can see it, but I need a way to verify that it went in correctly. My only choice is to look at the raw file. Here is a place...

    Editing/Browsing Really Big Files

    Good ideas, that I have yet to try. 20 years ago I was really good with emacs. I have no idea how it handles large files. RonMan

    Editing/Browsing Really Big Files

    I have the need to edit, but mostly just browse really big files. A small file would be 1GB. Text Edit, BBEdit, Smultron and most others try to load the entire file into memory. Even with a GB of memory and a lot of time on my hands these files can take 10-15 minutes to load and forget about...

    Word 2004 And Dwg Graphics

    I had a similar problem with a number of Word files not to long ago. You need to make sure that Show/Drawings is on in Preferences. It is on the View tab. If the doesn't work, maybe someone else can help. RonMan

    Mail Apparently "sent" But Not Really

    The problem is usually in the account set up in preferences. The last time a client had this problem the return address was invalid. It made no sense why fixing that corrected the problem you are having, but check it. Also, you might try deleting the preferences plist file, but I am not as...

    Dual Monitors - hidden panels

    Been there. In Photoshop, you have to reset pallets and then move them where you want. Other apps should have a similar ability; reset workspace or default workspace are other names. RonMan

    Hard Disk Recovery software- semi-emergency... heh... oi vey

    Your problem may not be what you think. I chased a similar problem for 2 months (since 10.3.7) before finding out that Fruit Menu had a problem that was adding 30 seconds to the startup of all applications. unsanity acknowledged that there was a problem and that they are working on it. My...
