That's a simple power manager reset, which is typically needed after the IBR-Emmpathy polka needed to ressurect batteries. It is in TIL 14449, available at Apple's web site (which covers all powerbooks and ibooks). For the 540 the procedure is: 1. Remove the AC adapter and the battery. 2. Let the PowerBook sit without power connected for 3-5 minutes. 3. Simultaneously press and hold Command-Option-Control-Power On for 5-10 seconds. 4. Reinstall the battery and, if necessary, reconnect the AC adapter. Bruce Johnson College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: desktop in order (Desktop Printing)
Hi there, Just a note to the group to say thanks. I've just been away for a while (a week) and came back to find my inbox teeming with replys to my powerbook battery problem. Just to let you know... The emmpathy 2.1 programme combined with the intelligent battery updater did the trick. There's still errors, and the apple inteligent battery updater still refuses to recognise the batteries, but they now charge again and give me a good 3 hours running time. So thanks to all those who posted answers to the problems with the 540c battery problems, and thanks also to those who replied direct to me with copies of emmpathy. And to anyone else out there with the same problem, I found that I had to use the Apple Intelligent Battery Updater first (even though it gave an error) before Emmpathy could see the batttery the first time. After that it was just a matter of time while they charged. Of course, now I have a different problem. The batteries keep the thing going - even letting me restart, but they don't let me start without a power cable. Not the end of the world, but still. I suspect that it may have something to do with my pram. I am ordering a new pram now, and will install it and keep you all informed as to my success. Thanks again for all the help.

Re: desktop in order (Desktop Printing)
Thanks - now down to an all-time low of 2 desktop icons! I didn't even know that the Desktop Printing enhancement could be turned off.

Re: desktop in order
On a sidenote, you can also get rid of some program aliases, that you might have, off the desktop and stick them on the Apple Menu. This not only cleans up the desktop, but the programs are then always arranged in alphabetical order on the menu making them simple to organize. I do this on both my PB 3400c and my Windows PC. With successful moving, tweaking and deleting, I have managed to have *only* 3 icons on my PC desktop (if you care: My Computer, Trash, and Network Neighborhood - which if deleted totally screws up the computer so I've left it there), and 3 on my PowerBook (Macintosh HD, Trash, printer). BTW, does anybody know how to delete the default Printer icon from the desktop? I'm running OS 7.6.1 and every time I try to trash the icon my Mac tells me that there MUST be a Default printer icon there and automatically puts one back on the desktop. I -really- don't like unnecessary desktop icons !

To do this he must change the resolution of the screen. However, he has his desktop arranged just so, and changing the resolution rearranges it. Is there any way to have the desktop revert to its original arrangement after the resolution is changed back? Thanx. -Leon Maurer -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

From Sys 6.0.8 to OS 9.1 I had not used Desktop Printer until trying to resolve a problem with a Keyspan USB/serial adapter. Another idea is to put the icon just off the edge of the desk, where it is not seen. If you ever need it use the Finder to locate it and drag and drop it from the found list to the desktop. I have use the Apple Menu Items trick for sometime now. It is great. Brent -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
