Re: Temperamental 5300c
To cut a long story short we just acquired a superb 5300c. Or it was until I tried to upgrade the OS. First tried installing OS 8 over OS 7.5 from an external CD Didnt like this as had to turn off all extensions to get it started.Then plugged in the HD30 and connected it to the PowerMac to clean the drive for a reinstall as by this time it didnt even like the ex CD. Then loaded a complete OS 8 onto the PB drive thinking to open it and run from there. Zilch. Reconnected to PowerMac and tried to wipe it all out again but the Powermac refuses to initialise the drive. All I can get anyhow now is the message . This start-up disk will not work on this Macintosh. Use the latest installer. well. Ive completely run out of options - it recognises nothing and always gives this message whatever you try- even to the emergency disk, so its back to begging from the experts time. Anyone had similar problems with reluctant 5300's., and how do I get it back on course again! Gerald -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

190/5300 displays
As I learnt that the screens are interchangeable between 190/5300 gray, color, acive or passive matrix, now I would like to see whether I can replace a dead TFT 5300 screen with a new one. The problem is that the only good case I have is a PB 190 one. The cable that connects the LCD to the logic board is the same for B/W and color 190/5300 displays? Ben -- Beniamino T.

Start your machine with the extensions off and try it then. If it is in use it is probably being used by an extension of some sort.

I tried the Mac Secrets trick of renaming, etc., but I can't erase the renamed folder, so I'm back in square one. Is there a way (ResEdit, etc.) to change something in the folder's deep bowels, so it can be erased? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Desktop Picture
Kaleidoscope (shareware) allows an older OS to display complete pictures. It can be downloaded at: http://download.com.com/ Search kaleidoscope . David Allen kaleidoscope uses a lot of processor and memory - it will significantly slow down your mac, there is another application that just puts a pic on the desktop and that doesnt alter the menucolour etc, and uses up the same amount of ram as the desktop pic is big and no more. But I can not for the life of me remember its name right now - sigh - and I put old the old diskettes in the attic. Anyone ? It was both ppc and 68 k and the name was not at all to do with desktop pics or anything similair, kenta -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Un-Erasable Folder
As below From: Terry Holtrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Un-Erasable Folder Start your machine with the extensions off and try it then. If it is in use it is probably being used by an extension of some sort. The other option is the file erase tool in the old Norton Utilities.

Conversely, try booting up off a System floppy or CD, then trash unwanted items. Certainly an item in use won't be in use by then. Zapping PRAM comes to mind also.

Re: Un-Erasable Folder
Hi again! I've already tried most key combinations, and the rename trick. They didn't work. My best chance lies with File Buddy or HellFolder. I'll try the Sherlock trick, too. I'll keep you posted nd thank you all for your suggestions. Best regards.

It does work very well on OS 7.6.x, giving that OS the more polished platinum feel of OS 8.
