Installation failure - Power Mac 7600/200
Greetings again Wamuggers Following your assistance with fax software, the same friend has asked me if I could post another request on his behalf - so here it is: I am trying to install System 7.6 onto my Power Mac 7600/200, from CD ROM. However, installation fails with an error message that System 7.6 does not support this computer and that the disc should be updated. Currently I have System 7.5.5 installed and functioning correctly on this computer. I also have a Power Mac 7200/90 on which System 7.6 has been installed from the same CD ROM as I am trying to install on the 7600/200. What is the solution? Hope you can help again Sue Oliver

Re: sherlock search on web

Firewire and iMac 333?
Hi everyone We have an iMac333: OS 8.6 and a recently acquired digital video camera. Being novices and hearing/seeing the term 'Firewire' (not sure what it is even!!!) is it possible to connect an external Firewire drive to our iMac given the above specs? Won't be heartbroken if not - can do it the old way, rerecord onto tape and send by snail mail until we can upgrade our computer sometime! Ta muchly Sue and Bern Oliver
Netscape 6.1 back to Communicator
Greetings all I know in the past there have been lots of messages about dispensing with 6.1 but I've lost track of where they are and am in the process of changing back to an upgraded Communicator (4.79). Help please. This is the first time I've uninstalled anything!!: 1. How do I uninstall 6.1 - is it a matter of drag and drop to desk top? 2. If I do that what happens to all my addresses and saved messages in 6.1? I'm not an absolute novice but... have spent heaps of time today trying to work out Export and Import and in what order and so on and feeling sick from scrolling help menus (:-(. Looking forward to your shared expert knowledgethanks a bunch Sue Oliver
Re: Speaking of waiting...
Hi This problem sounds similar to one we had quite some time ago. OK so I'm a home user with one machine but anyway here goes. We have an iMac 333 with OS 8.6 The cure was installing the following firmware from Apple: 'CD Update 2.0'. This fixed the glitch. We received the update as a matter of course from Apple following purchase of our machine in late '99 but I believe it was also on their website. This may not be new to you of course but it's the only thing I can think of if your problem is 8.6 related. Coincidentally, installing this piece of fimrware also solved a then hiccup with our Epson 440 where the print preview appeared as a miniscule blotch in the preview window and no amount of resetting to deleting fit to page etc would work. No one I've spoken to could explain this bonus effect but it was a happy solution. Hope you solve problem soon Sue Oliver > > One of the 7300s has been suffering from frequent intermittent 20-30 > second pauses since the beginning of the year.

Re: Macs & Viruses? - Comments pls
Greetings I use Virex 6.1 and as far as I know this seems to work successfully on my 1999 iMac 333, System 8.5, Appleworks 5 (about to be AWks 6).
