Need help on display card!

[info]

Hi guys,

I need some help on the use of a video display. I had a PowerMac 7600 
that had a ATI Mach64 video display card in it running to monitors. It 
worked great until the computer started to have other problems and I 
needed to replace it. I got a G3 266 mhz beige machine and put the 
same video display card in it and it would not work! One monitor would 
come on and the other would simply show snow! I tried a number of 
things with no change. I have been looking all over the web for any 
indication that there might be an incompatibility problem with the G3. 
All I can find is information on folks using pre-G3 machines with this 
display board, but no conclusive evident of it actually not working 
with a G3. Anyone out there used a video display card with a Beige G3 
to run dual monitors? Help!!!


Any idea where I can find conclusively what video card will work with 
my Beige G3?


Thanks,

Cal Conkey

Security Update Issue

[Michael Hawkins]

Apple released a security update yesterday (10 June) which I installed on my
G3 PowerBook 400, OS 10.2.6.

Secure was right - the computer wouldn't let me log-on. I'd key in my
password (as you do) and press log-in (as you do), and the screen would
shimmy. I tried repairing permissions by using the OS 10.2 CD-Rom as a
start-up disc, but that didn't work. I also tried resetting the password by
using the OS 10.2 CD-Rom but that also didn't work.

Apple technical advice was that I needed to press return or enter and not
the log-on button, after keying in the password. Apple says that the problem
is becoming more common and that it is trying to find a solution.

Regards,

Michael.

IMHO "Local" means nothing in the context of the Internet. What I
suspect you're really asking for is "where I can download Netscape
without incurring data charges"

The only person you can ask is your ISP.

For OSX you can download it here:


For OS8 you can download it here:


You can see all the available english versions here:


You can download many, many things here:


You can download other things from here:

I've got an external CRT display and USB mouse plugged into a 12" PowerBook
G4. I just tried it: closed lid (hence putting computer to sleep), clicked
mouse randomly a few times, and it woke up and transferred the menu bar to
the external display.

The screens were not mirroring each other, but I don't imagine it'd make
much difference. Shame I don't have an external keyboard, or it might
actually be useful hehe.

Just something anybody trying this might like to note: make sure that the
PowerBook has excellent ventilation if you use it with the lid closed for
any length of time. I have a vague nightmarish memory of people reporting
melted keys and distorted screens from all the trapped heat. Probably more
nontrivial with the Aluminium models.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go move all these Photoshop palettes back
to the correct screens ;)

Re: Virus checkers

Advice please on the best anti-virus software for OSX, and also how

Virex. 

It depends on whether you use Microsoft products. If you rely on Word 
or other Microsoft apps I'd recommend it, especially if you receive 
document files from other users, or distribute document files to them.


Otherwise I haven't used a virus checker in about 2 years, and then 
only Disinfectant. It's a risk I'm willing to take, and am indeed 
taking. Of course I have backups...


Have fun,
Shay

1Ghz Powerbook external monitor issue

[Mark Secker]

A quick question to the gallery.

I know that the early G4 powerbooks could be used closed with an 
external monitor basically close lid then click external USB mouse 
and the external screen becomes your main/only screen.


Has this changed with later Powerbooks I have both my 1Ghz PowerBook 
and a work colleagues 867Mhz (same era) and can not get it to work. 
Have tried setting video mirroring (just incase that was a forgotten 
step) but basically it seems that once the lids closed that's it it 
ignores the mouse totally and is totally asleep just like the G3 
PowerBooks.

Re: Publisher files on a Mac?

[David Watkins]

Phil

If the person who sent you the Publisher file is a PC user and has
the Publisher program he can save it in RTF format which of course
you can then save as a Word document.

If you still have problems and the file is not personal then send
me the file and I will do the conversion for you on my PC.


Regards..Dave

Does anyone know where I can get memory for a PowerBook 1400cs/166 ? 
Something like a 48mb module.
