Re: ummm errr..(shhhh)... DVD regionless hacks?
Hmmm OK... looks like what I'l do is loose the regionless DVD player from my WinTel box... it doesn't get used anyway (the DVD drive that is) and put it in a external FireWire case... No point having an Extended Apple Warranty if the first thing you do is void it.

Re: damn monitor resolutions in OSX
OK I feel like a klutz but I've fixed this thanks to the suggestions from the list.. The Show modes recommended by display did work the reason I didn't try it in the first place was that I looked at it and went OK thats on the control panel for the main screen (built in) but there isn't one on the second (external) monitors control panel failed to apply the first rule my first programing lecturer told me suck it and see Off Toppic . got to laugh - Eudora shows suck it as a double chilli warning. -- ~ Mark Secker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9380 2308 (GSE) 9380 1855 (ECEL) ECEL Computer Support Officer, University of Western Australia.

Laptop wanted
Hi I'm looking for a laptop with only the basics, doesn't need to be new (infact prefer not). It will be used for internet surfing and very basic word. (really no frills) The person to use it is a novice with little wish to learn more. :D As you can see reasonable amount of RAM and Gig, would stop the frustration levels in a novice user rising whilst waiting for something to happen. Anyone got an old one going?

Re: ummm errr..(shhhh)... DVD regionless hacks?
For those who are feeling a bit adventurous the firmware updates from http://www.wormintheapple.gr/macdvd/ worked for me. I'd follow the directions pretty carefully, eg.restarting without extensions etc.. and there was a very long wait at the end where it looked like the trusty imac had frozen... but I resisted the urge to reset, which according to the documentation would have rendered my dvd-rom useless, and eventually the you're computer is not ruined, you can breathe again dialogue box came up. The usual try at your own risk warning applies here. James From: Mark Secker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2003 09:28:11 +0800 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ummm errr..(s)...

Can't trash a folder
I started to download a piece of software and cancelled mid download. I now have a folder on my desktop as a .sea When I try and trash it it says that 'the item is being used by another task right now' 'try again when the task is complete' Nothing else is running and whilst it isn't using any space I would like it off the desktop. Using 10.2.3 on eMac. TIA Kevin

Using 10.2.3 on eMac. TIA Kevin Hi Kevin If I remember correctly, I think you will find that if you open up Internet Explorer, then under the window Menu choose Download Manager (Apple-4), you will see the download you were trying to get. Click on the name of it, hit the delete key. It will ask if you want to delete it, say yes. Then when the download has disappeared off the download manager you will be able to delete it off the desktop. (If you aren't using Internet Explorer, do the same for whichever program you are using, as I am sure most of them have a download manager of some sort!) Hope that helps!!

re Can't trash a folder
Thanks to all those who replied to me on this problem. The third suggested fix by 'Jude' worked a treat! For your information..a leftover desktop ,sea folder from a partial download could not be trashed. Jude's solution was to reboot in OS9 and 'find' the folder and trash it. Thanks again for all the suggestions. Kev
