A question about monitor drivers

[Brad Helden]

I am using a Compaq Presario monitor on a G3 but can, understandably, 
only get a resolution of 480x640 now. Does anyone know if there is a 
Mac driver for a Compaq Presario V410 monitor anywhere and if 
installing it might help give me a wider choice of resolution?


Cheers,

Brad

Has anybody seen this Dialog box warning before?

[Brad Helden]

Hi all,

A while back I wrote that I installed some soft on my G4 but it would 
not run. I have now installed it on my PM 7200 and the same thing 
happens.


The software is a bit old I know - it is Live Picture 2.5 and the box 
had never been opened so all the bits are there I believe. It 
installs but will not open. The dialog box reads as follows -


The protection key cannot be identified!
You cannot open this application.

Has anyone come across this problem before and if so is there a 
work-around? It would be great if the bloody thing was still being 
produced as then I could register it and get help but...


Cheers,
Brad

Re: Canvas vs omnigrumble

[Brad Helden]

There is an easy solution - Canvas 6 was released free on the 
ComputerArts CD #CD29 2002. It is legit and comes with a Serial 
number. I am running it under Classic without any problems. If you 
want a copy just drop me a line.

A question about Live Picture

[Brad Helden]

Would you believe I have just got hold of an unopened Live Picture 
2.5? Problem is that for some reason it will not open on my G4 
running 10.2.8. It comes up with a dialog saying 'The security code 
is unrecognised so the software cannot run on this computer' (or 
something to the like).


If anybody is a Wiz with this software or has an idea what is going 
on can they drop me a line or call me on 9330-4139?


Many thanks,

Brad

Re: I can't live without my.....(insert favorite software)

Well, there are a few things I love using for both work and pleasure -

Photoshop - the only one to go with
Extreme 3D - a great 3D application now extinct, even though under 
Classic it runs a bit woggly

EasyFind - great to locate, move, copy and delete files etc
Macsolitaire - a game to relieve boredom
Internet Explorer - rely on the web for almost everything

Thanks for the PDF suggestions

[Brad Helden]

Thanks to all who replied and there were many suggestions, however 
the one I opted for was offered by Mike Murray which was to try a 
small app called PrintToPDF. It worked just fine in my test run. The 
real test will be when I have created all my pages and embedded the 
graphic files.


Thanks very much to all who were considerate to help.

PDF suggestions wanted

[Brad Helden]

I have a puzzler that I am looking for an answer to.

I am running Pagemaker 6.5 on Mac OS 10.2.8. I want to save my file 
as a PDF but every time after I have set it up to do so a dialog box 
comes up saying that i must select a Postscript printer to do so. 
Problem is that I do not use a PS printer. Does anybody have a work 
around for this PM version used with this Mac OS version?


Thanks,
Brad

Thanks people

[Brad Helden]

It's amazing how one can know different applications down to a T and 
then get thrown by something as simple as how to print a record of 
e-mails from Eudora mailboxes. I blush with my ignorance. Thanks so 
much for all responses.


For those who are curious - the simplest way is to simply select all, 
copy, then paste into a word processing app. The only annoyance is 
that it captures all display facets including Labels etc. even if 
they are not shown. Still, that is not a lot of editing to do.


Cheers to all,

Any suggestions?

[Brad Helden]

Hello all,

I am wondering if there is any way to print the list of e-mails I 
have received using Eudora. I don't need content - just the name of 
sender, date and subject line.


Does any body have a clue how to do?

By the way, I must say that the WAMUG mailing list members are really 
great the way they help each other. In this day and age it is nice to 
find people being...um..well..nice.

Any work suggestions

[Brad Helden]

I know I am taking liberties posting this here but as there are 
people involved in such a broad range of businesses I thought it 
worth a try.


I am looking for work full time, part time or even consider casual in 
any field that might utilise my skills which are:


Graphic design, copy writing and media
Teaching English (TEFL)
Japanese language and culture

Qualifications:

Ba English
Cert. Trade Studies in Printing
Diploma of TEFL

I live in Melville so anything stretching from here through to 
Subiaco would be best as the old car is exactly that - old.


If anyone knows of something going that is worth a try please they 
either e-mail me or call me on 9330-4139.


Many thanks and apologies again for using this mailing list like this.

Cheers,
Brad

Re: What the? AGAIN

[Brad Helden]

Hi again everyone,

No, Onno, I was not sending HTML ( I know enough not to send that! ).

I think I may have found the problem though...  I just received 
e-mail back from someone with the same Undeliverable Message 
statement including the time that I sent the original. ONLY problem 
is - I wasn't even home at the time and also I have no idea who the 
person is I was supposed to have e-mailed.


As I receive bogus e-mail almost everyday now usually with a nice 
suspicious attachment file I dare say a virus spreader has taken hold 
of my e-mail address. I never open these files but they keep coming. 
I wonder if a virus is actually in my machine.


I have the latest Virex Update and scan regularly and never open any 
files that I do not expect or can confirm.


Has anyone else been having the same trouble?

Cheers,
Brad

Re: FW: Housekeeping for Macs

[Brad Helden]

Make sure you have at least 15 - 20% of your HD disk space unfilled 
as files need to be expanded when copying etc.  To assign extra RAM 
to P/S is easy - just select the P/S application with a single click 
then Get Info by Command-I  then select memory and adjust to what you 
want. Also check in P/S what you have set as the Scratch has plenty 
of space left to work with files expansion and tasking.


cheers,
Brad



Thanks for reply,
Yes, I do mean rebuild the desktop. And I try not to have too many Apps open
at once, usually just Entourage & Photoshop. And yes the problems seem to
only be with Photoshop. I've gone into System, Preferences & deleted
Photoshop's preferences, rebooted but still have probs.
When I go to save my 250meg PSD files, it seems to take forever. And I'm now
having problems trying to save my Photoshop raw files to JPG's. This has
never happened before. I get an error message saying: Could not save because
of a program error.
TIA

As all have pointed out already, there is a lot of gobbleydigook in

It's now down to...

[Brad Helden]

For the umpteenth time I am putting my printer for sale here again. 
It is a great printer and the quality is fantastic so I decided it 
must be the price. It cost me $300 less than a year ago. Will now 
sell for $210 ono and 2 Mid Strength stubbies (threw the last bit in 
just to sweeten the deal for me as they say).


It is an Epson Stylus Photo 830 with the five colour heads. Prints on 
photo quality paper exceptionally well.


Contact me on 9330-4139 if interested.

Re: Japanese Language Conversion

[Brad Helden]

Can anyone assist please.

I have a friend in Japan who has little English and I have little 
Japanese.  Is there a program
which will convert my English e mails , or word docs to Japanese so 
he can read them and vice
versa, so that I can convert his Japanese e mails to English so I can 
read them.


In short - no. I lived in Japan many years and although I have seen 
some attempts at programs to do the job I have not found any that do 
it well. The main problem is that Japanese is a much smaller language 
that often deals in concepts rather than literary translations. I can 
only recommend having someone help you or take up the study. Sorry.


One thing you can buy that might help is that you can get Pocket 
Electronic Dictionaries over there. I had a small Seiko one and it 
was not bad. Just make sure you buy one that is in 'Romaji' which 
means Romanized letters or you wont be able to read it unless you 
know Japanese writing - and there are 3 writing forms!


By the way ( a shameless plug ) I am running a course at UWA Autumn 
Classes on Tuesday nights from the 3rd of March through to Mid April 
on Demystifying Japanese Culture. You might find it useful before you 
go.

Mac work

[Brad Helden]

Hi,

As of the end of this month I am closing down my Japanese 
consultation business - at least on the full time basis. As such I am 
in desperately looking for some part-time work to make ends meet.


If anyone knows of some work available on Macs can they let me know. 
I know a fairly large variety of software (mainly DTP or graphics) 
and I have installed several cards and bits and pieces into Macs 
(including older models).


Any other work also welcome -especially Media or English teaching.

I can be reached on 9330-4139 or leave a message here. CV is available.

Many thanks,
Brad

If you read this message, your mail system has been probably fixed.



Obviously my mail system has not been fixed otherwise I wouldn't get

More than coincidence???

[Brad Helden]

Today's e-mail included a nice attempt to send a virus to me with the 
sender listed as a Vic Park car-yard. I contacted the yard and warned 
the owner what had taken place and of course the nasty file labelled 
'data.zip' was promptly trashed.


What amused me was that when I checked my 'real' mail in my letter 
box I found a letter addressed to me  saying that I could have 
complete virus protection for only $200.


Hmmm... I wonder.

Opening a keyboard question

[Brad Helden]

Hello all,

I have an Apple extended keyboard that came with my G4. It is white 
plastic with the USB connections and a CD eject button. Recently I 
spilled some drink on the keyboard (I know -keep drinks away from it) 
and I want to open it to clean.


When I looked there doesn't seem to be any screws or tabs to open it. 
The keyboard works okay but did stick on a couple of keys at first 
use after the spill. Anyone know how to open one of these and how 
easy it is?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible (and to what cost outlay) to put

Also does anyone have any RAM for sale for the aforementioned machine 
(size and cost)?

Re MP3 downloading

[Brad Helden]

I know this has been said before here but feel it should be 
reiterated - not all MP3 downloading is illegal.


Many places and in fact many groups have legal free sample downloads, 
many complete songs. It is illegal only if the MP3s are illegally 
available for downloading through hacker sites or bootlegs without 
artists' consent. If in doubt you can always check directly with 
music artists' agents who are easy to find.


bye for now,
Brad

Photo-like prints and the software with it works well under OS9 and 
OSX.

Re: junk mail problem

[Brad Helden]

I might have a solution for those with SPAM issues.

I use Eudora and always set my filtering to send any mail that is not 
directly addressed to me to be put in the trash. This setting also 
picks up WAMUG mail and others that are lists. All I do when mail 
arrives is to check the trash to see what is worth reading and then 
quit when finished (making sure it is set to empty trash on quit).


I have been using this filtering for a long time and find it is the 
easiest way to ensure 'unwanted's" get trashed.


Hope this info helps someone.

Cheers,
Brad

Re: Check out the new Apple Store (in Tokyo)

[Brad Helden]

By the way, anyone going to Tokyo should definitely go to Akihabara 
(Electric Town) for the best buys.


Please note that the Ginza strip is considered the most expensive 
shopping district in the world so I'd like to know what the new 
shop's prices are like. If anyone wants more info drop me a line as I 
lived in Japan for over 12 years until last year.

A (shudder) PC ram question

My brother in-law in Japan wanted some RIMM memory for his PC but

of. I am not familiar with this type so if anyone knows anything 
about it or where to buy some at a reasonable rate I'd be grateful.

The great Microsoft viral file

[Brad Helden]

All my Eudora accounts have been set up to filter to the trash any 
files that are sus so it was no surprise to see the "undelivered to 
Microsoft" e-mail in there. Straight to the trash it went as well as 
searching for any copies - I use a great Freeware Find File program 
called EasyFind that allows you to gather and move found files to the 
trash.


All I can say is "I'm glad I'm a Mac person!"

Formatting a CD

[Brad Helden]

I am running OS10.2.3 on a G4 but want to burn a CD with OS7.5 
install disks on it for an LC575. Problem is that when I burnt it 
before the CD kept getting popped out of the LC. I'm pretty sure it's 
because the OS format of the CD is HFS+ and the LC only takes 
standard HFS.


Does anyone know how I can burn a HFS CD on a computer formatted with 
HFS+? Tried Disk Utility but no go.


Any other ideas most welcome.

Thanks,

Trouble with Mac Help

[Brad Helden]

Recently the SEARCH text input box and button have disappeared from 
Help Centre through the Menu bar help. Also clicking on some of the 
topics just causes the spinning ball to go on and on and on. To top 
it off if I click a topic and actually get there, there is no Back 
button.


I'm sure trashing some pref might help but which one? Anybody else 
had this problem?


(I'm using OS 10.2.3 )

Any opinions on OS10.2.6 would be welcome including warnings of bugs. 
Currently using 10.2.3 without too much grief but the reviews at

Re : Blocking Spam

[Brad Helden]

Similar to what Kelly Duffy reported, my wife's e-mail with iPrimus 
got spammed with a bullshit Mail Undelivered letter which says my 
wife tried to contact a porn site e-mail address but it couldn't get 
through. She, of course, didn't, but what I think they were hoping 
was that those who got their BS e-mail would reply or contact the 
site therefore submitting themselves to a life of spam hell.


I'm all for free enterprise and promotion as much as the next person 
but some of these creeps are over the top.


I contacted iPrimus by form on their website a few days back to tell 
them that maybe their customers are getting targeted but no reply. Oh 
well.

New free OSX software

[Brad Helden]

Don't know if this has been mentioned here but I just got this 
posting off the Macusers Group in Tokyo and thought it might be of 
interest here.

-
Clutter is a pleasantly small freeware OS X application that fetches 
the album cover of your current iTunes song from Amazon.com and puts 
it in a brushed aluminum window on your desktop and in your dock. 
Drag the album cover out onto your desktop, and you now have another 
way to select your music... just double click the desired album cover 
and iTunes starts on a playlist of the album.

Virex updates

[Brad Helden]

Hi all,

Thought I sent this the other day but maybe no, so sending it now.
Some have been asking about Virex updates and it so happens I have 
just been in touch with them about the a related issue. What follows 
is their reply which includes an e-mail address. Hope it helps.

-
This afternoon Network Associates forwarded us your email regarding 
Virex 6.1 and updating to Virex 7. PICA Software is the local 
distributor of Virex in Australia. It is great to hear that you are 
an avid fan and user of Virex 6.1.


Virex 6.1 is verified for compatibility with OS 9.x. Virex 7 is 
verified for compatibility with OS X 10.x. If you have upgraded your 
system to OS X 10.x then you will need to use Virex 7 while under 
this Operating System. If you are able to restart you computer in OS 
9.x then you should have Virex 6.1 installed under this operating 
system.


Unfortunately there isn't an "upgrade" as such. You will need to 
purchase Virex 7. Network Associates has recently changed their 
distribution method for all Virex products. Virex is now available as 
part of a two-year licence agreement. It is no longer available as a 
retail product, on CD. This licence agreement enables you to download 
the version of Virex that is compatible for your current Operating 
System. It also enables you to download any upgrades that become 
available as well as the monthly virus definition updates.


This two year Virex licence is available from all Apple resellers and 
distributors, as well as directly from PICA Software. The current 
cost of the license is $89.00 which includes GST. Purchase of this 
licence provides you with a grant number which can then be used to 
access the applicable updates and upgrades.


If you have any further queries regarding this information and/or 
Virex please contact us.

G4 woes

[Brad Helden]

Hello all,

Finally have a system prob that has stumped me.

Recently connected my G4 (0S9.2.2) by ethernet to a 7200 (OS9.1). My 
wife tried to file share without having the G4 on and since then 
everything started going crazy. The G4 has 2 hard drives (30GB 
partitioned with main startup and a10GB blessed also). Suddenly 
programs crashed out and lots of stuttering to the point that I 
completely re-initalialized the 30GB complete with writing all zeros.


What happens now is that when I try to drag the apps from the 10GB to 
the other (incl. prefs) I often get system errors of Type 2 or 3 
when I try to start those apps. Sometimes I also get bad address 
errors when I try to start up. This is driving me crazy.


If anyone has some ideas (especially if someone has the chance to 
chat by phone on 9330-4139) I would really appreciate it.


Thanks,

Brad

[Brad Helden]

Can anyone recommend the easiest, best, and cheapest way to file 
share between a 7200 Power Mac (thanks Mark :o) ) and a G4 400? Also 
where I might be able to pick up the cables etc reasonably. I thought 
maybe ethernet is the way to go.

Hard drive prices

[Brad Helden]

Just logged on to the Macusers' Group in Tokyo and read that one guy 
bought a 120GB HD for 15,500 yen which is about $217.40AU. Can anyone 
tell me how this compares with what's available in Perth?

Thanks for the support

[Brad Helden]

I just wanted to say thanks to those who contacted me at various 
times since I returned from Japan last year giving advice about 
settling back into Perth. My wife and I have now been given a 
government grant to help conduct our own business as of the 27th 
February.

The services we are offering are:

Graphic Design
Desktop Publishing
Copy Writing
Japanese Cultural Consultation (as applied to business negotiating)
Japanese and English Language Tuition
Japanese Translation

Anyway, now comes the hard part of finding clients.

Many thanks again,

Brad & Tomo Helden

If you get offered an iMac.....

[Brad Helden]

Hi all,

Another stolen Mac report.

My cousin has recently had her lime green iMac stolen from her house 
in Palmyra. As it belonged to her brother who died a year and a half 
ago it means a lot to her. Unfortunately as she is not a computer 
geek like the rest of us details a to the model are sketchy. All I 
know is that it was a 1999 model and lime green.


If anyone gets offered one of these by some 'shady' character please 
let me know. I realise it is almost impossible to ever find these 
again, but you never know.


Just in case it can't be recovered if anyone has an iMac for sale 
cheap (she's on a special pension) please drop me a line with the 
details and your phone number (pref. land line).


Many thanks to all,

Brad

Cheap Mac wanted

[Brad Helden]

I'm looking for a cheap old Mac for my wife so she can just do some 
text work and possible database stuff. What I need is a computer that 
has either a CD built-in and a monitor. A Centris or 608040 (trying 
to remember the number here) would be ideal with about 20mb RAM and 
at least a 230MB HD.


Anybody has one or seen one please let me know. Have seen an LCII 
with monitor at an OP shop for only $20 but it doesn't suit all our 
needs.


Call me on 9330-4139 and leave a message if not there or drop me a 
line by e-mail with what you have and price wanted.


Thanks all,

Brad

DC power adaptor advice wanted

[Brad Helden]

Hello all,

I have got hold of a pair of sturdy looking IBM computer speakers 
however there was no DC adaptor with them and they don't take 
batteries.


I tried using two DC adaptors I have which are 240V to 9V 500mA and 
240V to 13.5V 400mA but when I used each of them one of the speakers 
began to hum unhappily (without even being turned on).


Anyone can advise which adaptors might work with these speakers?

Thanks,

Brad

Hello all,

Recently on TV I saw an ad for an El Cheapo Internet Provider at

them and need to contact them soon.


If anyone knows the name (and phone if poss.) please drop me a line 
here or phone on 9330-4139

Re: Spammer Info

[Brad Helden]

Phil see below -

http://www.vtgts.com/auspam.htm


Hiya all,

Something I just saw on another email list. The amount of equipment 
and infrastructure that goes into these activities sure is amazing.


Does anyone on here know anything more about Wayne Mansfield, the 
Perth spammer?




Rgds,
Phil




I just stumbled across an article from a few weeks ago that's
absolutely brilliant!

It's to do with a very successful U.S.-based spammer that has earned
enough from his activities to recently build a large home for himself.
The original article, by the Detroit Free Press, is here:

http://www.freep.com/money/tech/mwend22_20021122.htm

Needless to say, SlashDot got all over this one within a matter of
hours:

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/22/1658256&tid=111

Now - here's the good bit - another article in the Detroit Free Press,
with the spammer complaining that he is now being flooded with
advertising e-mail and snail mail:

http://www.freep.com/money/tech/mwend6_20021206.htm
(That page has two other unrelated but interesting articles on it
too...)

The best summary for the whole affair is the Ars Technica article,
complete with user comments that tend to be more interesting than their
SlashDot counterparts:

<http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=174096756&m=9090910145&r=9090910145>

Parts wanted

[Brad Helden]

Hi,

Hoping someone might have a Floppy Disk Drive for free, swap, or sale 
for a Powerbook Duo 230 I was given today. I also need a T8 Torx 
Driver so I can unscrew the T8 screws underneath.


This is actually my first laptop though I have used Macs for a long 
time so if anyone has owned one of these and has any advice or 
opinion (especially on upgrading) please let me know.


If I can get the Floppy Drive I will also be looking for some OS 8.6 
disks to update it from 7.1 which it is now.


I can be reached here or by phone on 9330-4139

Thanks,

Brad

My keyboard has a Power Button but I brought with me from Japan. If

and could probably send one down.

Re: Eddy Wajon's problem

[Brad Helden]

Bill Parker stated:

> 1) Update OS to 9.2.2

That bit I would not bother with. I still find 9.2.1 OK

The reason I suggested 9.2.2 is that it is recognized as being stable 
and addresses some problems found on 9.2.1

> 3) As a Netscape fan would suggest moving over to that browser and
> also allocating a decent amount of RAM to it.
Dont use it, but agree with the principle below of allocating much higher
RAM to IE 5.0 which I use all the time.

The move to Netscape was that IE still has some security problems yet 
to be fully addressed and that Netscape 7 has many new features that 
make it easy to set-up and use

The bottom line Eddy is that it will be your own personal decision on 
software choice.the most important thing is regards RAM 
allocation which many people often forget to attend to even though 
they have a fair amount of memory installed.

Dr Wajon's G4/OS problems

[Brad Helden]

Hi,

Dr Eddy Wajon wrote -
=
I have found my G4 with either OS 9.1 or 9.2 to be very unstable. I
continually have Word quitting because of memory problems, especially when
going to print, and Outlook Express or Internet Explorer freezing when
sending or downloading. Lately at work on a PC using XP instead of Windows
95, I don't have these same kind of computer problems. If anyone can
explain why I have these Mac problems and how to solve them, I would be most
grateful. I have had MacDoctor come in and re-install everything, download
OS9.2 and partition my disc, and I still have these same problems.
=
I have been running my old (but good) G4 400 on OS 9.2.2 for some 
time without any troubles noted that I can directly relate to the 
system version.


My suggestions on Eddy's troubles are as follows:

1) Update OS to 9.2.2
2) Allocate as much RAM memory as possible to Word and (especially) 
Outlook Express
3) As a Netscape fan would suggest moving over to that browser and 
also allocating a decent amount of RAM to it.


With regards to RAM allocation my Mac has 1GB RAM with 75,766K 
assigned to IE (when I use it)


Cheers,

Re: Old imac question

[Brad Helden]

Hi Dave,

If you are talking about the (5 flavours) iMac that were Power PC 750 
266 and 333 mhz machines they can take 512MB RAM using 2 PC66 DIMMs. 
They can be upgraded to OSX.


Cheers,

Brad

Hi people,
I am confused about the upgradabilty of old imacs, can anyone give me
the definitive limits of an imac 266? I need to know how much RAM I can
put in it and what system it will support without getting impossibly
slow.
thanks for your help
Dave
