Thanks, but apparently having the proper version of Cache Out will do the trick. (Bangs head on desk).

activity monitor doesn't show anything out of the ordinary. A new user had much faster speed. Weird though- I had to install Firefox for that user. Is that normal? All of my other programs appeared. So does this mean my main user is corrupted or something?

Main hard drive has 5+ GB available (it's a 20GB HD). Firefox is usually used without any other program open, for concern that this was an issue. G4 has 384 MB of Ram as well.

I am trying to run Cache Out. The program asks for the system password. I type in my usual password that I use for installing programs, or trashing stuff from the system folder... It won't allow me to run the program, saying the password is wrong. Is there a way to reset this password...

Hello, I have a Powerbook that runs quickly on wireless. A (gasp!) PC that runs quickly via ethernet connection. And an older G4 that runs like a 1 legged dog via ethernet connection. On the slow G4- I have run Techtools 4, which doesn't find anything wrong. I have run Norton Anti-Virus...

Thanks for the try- but that program only works with 10.4 & higher. I've got 10.3.9. I wrote the manufacturer & they don't have any older versions.

Hello, I recently started grad school & am looking for a way to use my wasted 1 hour commute. Is it possible to record the Mac reading a text document and either make an audio CD or download it to an ipod? The professor gives the text in power points. I'm running 10.3.9 on an older G4...

Upgraded to Firefox 2.0.0.18. Still message. Anyone know something to try?

Tried it again for the heck of it. This is a dumb question- but the plug-in DOES go in Library>Internet Plug-ins, right?

Thanks for the link. However, I downloaded & installed Flash 9- and I still get the message. I am running 10.3.9 & Firefox 2.0.0.1. I get the message on youtube. I imagine this problem must be only me, or the world would be in an uproar... Firefox 3 requires 10.4 & up. Should I...

I am getting an alert from Firefox that I need to install a Flash Player update. It gives me a link to the free Flash 10 download from Adobe. That's lovely of them, except that Flash 10 is only compatible with OX 10.4 & higher. I have 10.3.9. All the old links I can find for Flash 9 seem to...

Thank you sir. This should conclude this thread. I love a happy ending!:D

It was the keyboard software needing re-installation. Now hard drive space is an issue. (Fun never ends!) Can I safely move the "Previous Systems" folder to a backup external hard drive and successfully bring components back if ever needed? Thanks!

Spoke to HP who had me uninstall & reinstall printer software. Didn't work, so I called Apple. Tried many things, and eventual outcome was to reinstall system software. Printer works! But now I've got all the annoying bugs like a few programs going kooky on me. But at least I can print...

Tried the ethernet idea. Same issue- "driver not installed" but the installation would not work because "a newer version is already installed". Dumb question- how do I uninstall or delete the "newer" printer software? (I find this pretty funny considering there is only 1 version on the hp...

Well that program looked promising, but now I've got a different set of issues. The printer is connected via USB. When I try to re-add the printer it is not recognized through Rendezvous, so I try USB. PSU shows it, but says the driver is not installed. When I try to install the software DLed...

It is not the actual printer. I had to bring a PC home from work (I know- eww!), and hooked it up. It printed normally after installing the software. I went back to the Mac and tried to print to pdf- no go. I had a power outage the other day and thought nothing of it. Could that have...

I am running OS 10.3.9, and have an hp 2600n color laserjet printer. Had both for years and never had a problem. Yesterday I hit print, (2600n is only printer, Mac is only cpu connected) and I got a printing error. Word told me to select a printer. 2600n was the default... I checked System...

I searched for this topic & didn't find it. Sorry if it exists, just post a link. Anyway. I've got a G4 from like 1999. Original ATI Rage 128 Pro video card in it. Since I updated to OSX (Panther), the dvd players freeze after like 2-5 seconds. I replaced the dvd rom with a dvd burner...

So I either upgrade or don't use features on my nice new ipod. Gotta love it. Argh!
