Problem with disappearing AppleWorks in 9.0.4

2002-11-11 Thread James Rohde
My daughter called last night with a problem which is *very* puzzling to 
me. She is using her iBook (the earlier clamshell model, I think 300 MHz, 
indigo), and her AppleWorks (6.0.x) had locked up on her and she shut 
down the iBook (ouch!). After she started it back up, the AppleWorks 
folder was there, but nothing in it!

Over the course of an hour phone call, I walked her through finding the 
Install disk and re-installed the AppleWorks on her drive. When she 
started up AppleWorks, she got an error message about it not being able 
to open some spreadsheet file (she had only double-clicked on AppleWorks, 
not on any file), but then there was some spreadsheet file there. When 
she exited from AWks and looked in the AWks folder, all the stuff was 
gone!! I had her then (and had earlier in the phone call) do a Sherlock 
search for AppleWorks - the first time, there was Appleworks, but it was 
greyed out (like when you've done a search, and before quitting Sherlock 
have deleted the file).

I asked my daughter if anyone else has been using her iBook, but she 
didn't know of anyone except for her fiance. Asked if the landlord had 
had anyone over working in the house on anything (nope), if one of her 
roommates had had friends over (nope) or had a party (nope). My daughter 
has Virex installed and running, so this whole thing is getting puzzling 
to me. My situation is different from hers, as I've upgraded my 
AppleWorks (to 6.1.2) and OS (to 9.2.2), so I cannot rule out possible 
problems between AW 6.0.x and MacOS 9.0.4.

Has anyone experience or seen this kind of total disappearance of the 
AppleWorks folder's contents? I almost wonder if I need to take my 
Diskwarrior and Norton CDROMs and drive the 4 hours down there to run 
tests on her drive (but that seems like such a long drive). 

Any and all help will definitely be appreciated by this dad.

wallstreet cooling fan

2002-11-11 Thread Kent Wieland
Lately I've noticed that my trusty Wallstreet II (PDQ, I guess) has been
running much warmer.  I've also noticed that my cooling fan doesn't seem to
kick on anymore--ever, no matter how hot it gets.

Could it be that my fan is dead?  Or might I need to zap my PRAM or some
such thing?  I'm concerned that I'm going to cook its innards if not my
legs...

Any ideas?

On digest mode,
Kent

The fan starts very rarely on any PowerBook G3 Series. Unless you use it on
some surface that would prevent air from circulating underneath, you won't
hear the fan. However, if you really want to hear it, you can shutdown your
PDQ and reset the power manager. I think you should hear the fan a little
bit when you'll press the power button.

Powerbook G3

2002-11-11 Thread Bob Johnson
We are having a  problem with my daughters Powerbook G3.  Purchased 
new on 6-25-99
Her computer runs extremely slow, Office 98 and all that goes with 
that software.
Sometmes it takes literaly 10 to 15 minutes to print a simple 1 page 
letter from Word 98.
We have defraged the hardrive, rebuilt the desk top, and installed a 
total of 192 MB RAM. She uses an HP 935c printer that was new. We 
have tried reinstalling the software, but still is really slow. 
According to the lowendmac site we can install up to 384 MN RAM, 
when we had the ram installed for us we were told it was maxed at 
192.  So this is why I wonder about what machine we really have. 
Would appreciate some simple help here.

I  understand that their is a number of models of this computer.
Here are the numbers on what we ordered from Apple.

PBG3  14.1T/333/64/4G/CD/E/56K
Serial No. QT92818XEXW

I believe that this is called the Lombard.  According to a printout 
off the Lowendmac. site.

Can anyone tell from the  numbers above if this is a true Lombard Model?

Thank You

333 is a Lombard - they have USB and SCSI connection on the back and a
see-thru keyboard.

That sort of speed when  printing sounds to me like a printer or s/w problem
- have you check all the printer options and there is nothings et that would
cause it to go slowly - how long does a simple text page take ?

Tried a different printer ?

Virtual RAM problem in Pismo under Jaguar

2002-11-11 Thread Jim
Dear listers,

I've got a Powerbook 2000 firewire (Pismo), with a gigabyte of RAM.  
I bought this vast quantity of memory because I use a graphics program 
to render huge image files, and cannot tolerate the several-hour delays 
imposed by using virtual memory.  Everything works delightfully when 
booted up in OS 9.2.2.  I cannot currently afford to upgrade my 
graphics application to X, so must either run in OS 9 or in classic 
under Jaguar.  Before Jaguar, I was unable to launch this program in 
classic because  pre-Jaguar versions of X would not allocate more than 
200 MB of memory to classic applications.  Jaguar, however, seemingly 
allows my classic application to claim 800 MB.  Unfortunately, when I 
start rendering under classic, things slow down to a snails pace, 
suggesting to me that Jaguar is in fact using some sort of virtual RAM 
scheme.  How do I turn this off?  I would rather not keep having to 
re-boot in OS 9!

I realize this is more of an OS X question, but maybe some of you know 
the answer.  Thanks for your help!

--Jim.

recommend someone in the Orange County, CA area?

Re: Powerbook G3

2002-11-11 Thread Matt Halter
I don't use Office but my wife does at work and she says its slow.  I 
have that same printer and it only slows way down when you print a photo 
at the best setting.  For normal documents it is pretty spiffy, much 
faster than my newer photosmart 1115.  I've used it with my Wallstreet 
II (266mhz/192mb) and it worked fine, spitting out almost 8 pages of 
double spaced text in a minute.

Have you updated the drivers?  The latest versions are available for 
download at hp.com.  Does it print just as slow when printing from other 
programs?  If you're running OS9 or earlier increase the memory 
allocated to Office 98.  Turn off virtual memory if you are using it, 
especially if her hard drive is full, that may make a difference.

Re: Powerbook G3

2002-11-11 Thread Richard Smykla
Bob,

Yes, only the Lombard model has a 333MHz processor.
I'd suggest you run Apple System Profiler and check that the cache memory is being 
recognized. A number of Lombard owners have had problems with cache failures, which 
would cause slowdowns.

I think it's more likely your HD is almost full? If you have virtual memory enabled in 
the Memory control panel (it's on by default in OS9), and you have little free HD 
space remaining (less than, say, 300MB), you could be running into a problem with the 
HD being overtaxed due to swapping memory contents back and forth - this is especially 
noticeable when using MS Word, in my experience. If this is the case, do some HD 
pruning, and try again. If you have plenty of HD space, then try increasing the memory 
allotment for MS Word ('Get Info' on the Word application icon, and increase the 
memory allocations). Again, this assumes OS9 operation, which it sounds like you're 
using.

As to the max RAM that can be installed on these machines, I have run my Lombard with 
a maximum of 512MB RAM for months now, will no problems (256MB in both upper and lower 
slots). As chip densities improve, many machines can run with larger total memory 
allotments than originally envisioned by the manufacturer. I do believe, though that 
512MB is the maximum memory amount that these machines can address. HTH.

Re: Problem with disappearing AppleWorks in 9.0.4

 greyed out (like when you've done a search, and before quitting Sherlock
 have deleted the file).

Actually, that also sounds like an invisible file (so saying you have that
option turned on. What happens when you try to open the enclosing folder via
Sherlock (by double-clicking on the folder in the bottom pane)? What do you
see?

 Has anyone experience or seen this kind of total disappearance of the
 AppleWorks folder's contents?

I had a similar problem once. Unfortunately, it was a hard drive that went
dead a few days later.
