    Background app scrolling

    I've only just noticed that I don't seem to be able to scroll a background window by using the mouse scroll button, now that I've upgraded to 10.2.4. I'm sure this was a feature that existed with 10.2.3. I actually noticed it first when Safari arrived. In fact, Safari is a bit picky about how...

    Firewire problems on Powerbook

    It seems that I am the victim of a never ending saga of external Firewire hard drive failures. I'm running a PowerBook G3 Pismo/2000 - have 10.2.3 and 9.2.2 installed on two separate partitions on the internal 30GB IBM Travelstar HD. Things on that end work extremely well, now that I replaced...

    Use your old Epson printer with 10.2

    DON'T THROW AWAY THAT LEGACY PRINTER JUST YET... Did you upgrade to OS X and find out that Epson weren't going to support your legacy printer with the new OS? Think you were going to have to fork out more money on a new printer? That's exactly the bind I found myself. And I've been searching...

    Expanding Powerbook video capabilities - is it possible?

    Does anyone know if you can expand the video capabilities of a PowerBook G3 (Pismo/Firewire)? I would assume that you would have to do it by way of the PC-card port. My PB has the standard AGP ATI Rage Mobility with 8MB of VRAM and I would like to expand my video to 32MB to take advantage of...

    About time EPSON listened up

    Well, my name is Zeal and it's been 3 months since I last feed one into my EX. Kinda hard talking about it because the EX and I have been together for a couple of years and she's always been pretty reliable. Well, until I fed her some cheap stuff, and she got all clogged up - wouldn't speak to...

    How do you delete an unwanted User

    Can't seem to delete 2 unwanted Users. I deleted them via the Users panel, but all that that has appeared to do is change the name of the User's folder by putting "Deleted" after the Username (i.e. "Xmen" has now become "Xmen Deleted"). Regards Zeal :confused:

    I'm running OS X 10.1.4 and am using IE 5.1.4. Is there any way to deactivate drop-down menu fading feature that occurs after you select something from a drop-down menu?

    Bad sectors - how do you fix them?

    Started getting "graunching" noises from my FW external HD yesterday. Sounds like "graunch-graunch - space - graunch-graunch - larger space" repeating. I rebooted in Classic and ran Norton Utilities (6.0.3). It took some time to check the media on the 40GB drive and got two-thirds of the way...
