Hi all. Recently, I am having trouble finding Yahoo and Hotmail as well as some other bookmarked sites. I had no probs in the past. It happens intermittantly, with no particular reason. IE has a pop up that says "can't locate..." or something like that. I had an older IE that came with my G4 733...

I was about to launch the install on my G4 and the installer said that my OSX version could not be updated (too old? it's 10.0.4). So under options, it says I can basically erase the volume and install new. I read further that means erase the disk's contents (like my OS9.2 and everthing else)...

Hi all, I just got Panther and am ready to install on my G4 733 640 RAM that has both OS 9.2 and OS 10.0.4 on it. Any warnings or tips before I leap? I have not read instructions yet but assume it will just overwrite the existing OS10? Thanks and a wonderful Thanksgiving to you and yours. Oh...

Sorry for the recent flood of my ignorance as I have lived in the Classic world far too long, but... All of my apps. and utilities are for Classic: Norton AV, Norton Utilities, Adobe Type Manager, not to mention Adobe PS, Illust., Acrobat. I know that I can run the classic stuff and run OSX...

Are there free upgrades available for my G4 733's OSX v10.0.4? If so, what is the one to go with--sometimes the 'latest' is not the best? I assume I download at Apple? I don't want to have to spend anything to buy Jaguar, etc. Thanks. EDIT: There are free upgrades at Apple. I just downloaded...

I can import .tifs, etc. from PS and their preview shows in my QX 4.11 docs' picture boxes but .eps files from AI 8 and 9 won't. They only have a shaded box within the QX picture box with the name of the file. Even ones that used to show up won't now. They will print however. What's up? Thanks...

Hi all, recently my G4 733 gets stuck just as it's about to finish start-up (the HD shows up on the desktop but launcher's window won't at the stuck point). Everything was fine until I downloaded a new driver for my Epson 1250 scanner and an update for MS Word 2000. Just before the MS download...

Hi, is there any inexpensive/free web-authoring software for mac OS9? I need to build a really simple site (basically a few linked pages with text and a few graphics) and don't want to invest in dreamweaver, etc. Thanks.

I posted this on another forum, but I think here is better... I am considering buying a color ink jet or a color laser. I need ethernet connectivity, and am seriously desiring 12x18 or 13x19 media. I don't think a color laser in that size is in the budget though, hence mentioning ink jets. I...

Hi, I have a 733 G4 with 6-hundred something RAM and my QX v4.11 is locking up ("unexpectedly quits") in the middle of my work. It has never done that before. I recently installed Real Player 8 but ditched it and all its' files. I was thinking is might be some offending extension related to RP...

What are the best first person shooter games for OS 9? I have played a few military/delta force type games on PC and prefer that genre. Open to others though. Thanks! 733 G4 and 600-something ram

What are the best first person shooter games for mac OSX? I have played a few military/delta force type games on PC and prefer that genre. Open to others though. Thanks! Oh yeah, G4 733 with 600- something ram

Hi all, I found this on my HD while cleaning house: mach.sym as well as one called: mach The latter is an alias. What about them? Can I just delete them or are they important? Thanks!

I made the mistake of upgrading to RP 8. In doing so, Word for Mac now quits on opening of the application. I fixed that by finding an extension conflict. I dumped the updated RP folder, extensions, and prefs and want to install the best version that will not conflict with my key applications...

Is there web-filtering software for mac os9.x? Something like a cyber patrol, net nanny, etc. Thanks.

My MS word for mac's pull down menus don't pull down at all. Docs open but that's it. I rebuilt desktop, ran norton disk doc. what gives? G4733 using OS 9.2 Thanks in advance.

I'd heard about Pagemill but it's no longer available. What are some good inexpensive choices for web software. I am going to do only a simple page with like two links and no animation, etc. I heard ones like Dreamweaver aren't friendly and take a while to learn plus the cost is up there. Thanks.

I occasionally bomb on start up with the error message: system error occurred apple cd/dvd driver illegal instruction. I never had this happen before. reasons why? how to fix?

I just used Software Update to update my 9.2.1 to 9.2.2 and there is now a folder on my desktop labeled "Mac OS 9.2.2 Update". I had already done the restart which I think installed everything and the About This Computer now says OS 9.2.2 --so can I trash it? The contents seem to match the same...

I want to run Speed Disk but the Norton CD will not boot my G4 with 9.2. I tried changing Start Up disk in Control Panel as well as holding down C key at restart--neither way worked, always boots from Mac HD. I'd heard about this bug, how do I get around it/start from another source? Do I copy...
