Re: HELP!!! Administrator deterioration
Dan, once you have the Mac set back as you want it, why not try psychology, Tell your daughter that if she tries to bypass the parental controls again you will take the Mac away and replace it with a PC running Vista Home !! This should put the fear of god* in her and prevent any further transgressions.

Re: MDD G4 and GeForce 6200 - compatible?
Adam, You will not hurt the MDD by trying the card, the incompatibility is due to the provision of the proprietary Apple monitor connector (the name escapes me for the moment), Apple used a couple of unused (at the time) pins on the AGP slot for power switching so that the monitor button could turn the Mac on, later these pins were used in the AGP-8x standard, many graphics cards have these pins tied low on the board, if they are not taped / cut then the MDD will not power on as the card grounds the power-on line, this will not cause any damage, it just stops you from being able to turn the Mac on. Any of the card modding sites will tell you which pins to tape / cut and I would recommend cutting them as they are not needed and tape has an annoying habit of working loose. Ben.

Any > suggestions? > -- > Allan Castleberry Allan, I think the problem is that there are 2 DVI standards, DVI-A (found on older kit), and DVI-D (the newer standard) As HDMI is a digital standard, I think that it will only work with DVI- D as the earlier DVI-A standard is analog rather than digital. However many cards are DVI-I (integrated digital & analog) these may or may not work. Wikipedia has a good article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Compatibility_with_DVI That may help point you in the right direction.

Any ideas? > > Tom > Tom, If you only want classic support within OS X then you don't need the OS 9 drivers, you only need them if you want to BOOT into OS 9, Classic will work fine without them. Also you don't need to partition your HDD, 9 & X will both live happily side by side on the one partition either as classic or dual- boot. Also see Chris Tilfords post about partition maps, This threw me once, I could not understand why my Apple partitioned drive would not boot, then almost by accident I found that the partition table was fat32 with an Apple partition on-top of it!! Good luck, they are nice machines, Although I have an Intel iMac I still use my 800MHZ G4 "iLamp" running 10.5 (Used the open firmware hack to install) .
