FYI, the problem is das Problem and so it would be a small problem or ein kleines Problem....at least in the singular! ;-)

It's been a while since I used German OS 9x but I thought there would have been a step in the installation (in case you are willing to try that bit again) where a pull down menu would ask you for the 'Sprache' or 'Sprachen auswahl' (language or language selection, as there are local versions for Swiss, German, and Austrian as well as International English, IIRC) maybe that was only in OS X... > As I had a disk image for 9.1, my plan was to update the installation as > soon as I'd installed it.

Not sure about the reason that the disk image for 9.1 won't update but if you have broadband access and can download 9.2.2 then that should work...If you don't then let me know and I can send you a CD of the downloaded 9.2.2 update (in international English) as I did very nearly the same thing when I moved from D to the UK a few years ago. I seem to remember everything would update and change languages (apps included) with the English updates except one particularly expensive office suite (who could that be from I hear you ask?).

If you do ever decide to 'get down' with the German version let me know...I have several native books on the OS 9, X, Office 2001, v.X, etc...sitting around! > Help in simple English for a simple non-techie gratefully received :) Let me know if you can get the 9.2.2 combi update and try that or if I should send it to you? > Danke Gern geschehen Richard -- -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
