Re: Where to find "QuickTimeLib-MakeImageDescriptionForEffect"?

Yes, Drew, that's the ticket, but CoolCam doesn't recognize the old grayscale Connectix webcam. Digital Radar does, though, but I need to test it in dark conditions (using a 3400 Pb, 8.6 OS). I also believe that this cam can't be tweaked for sensitivity to motion. Would a serial color cam be a bet

I used the WaveLAN drivers on my PB5300 w/OS 8.6. Actually I'm not certain if it's the WaveLAN driver, the laptop isn't available at the moment. I can check later. If you still don't have a resolution to this in a week drop me a line. At 9:36 AM +0100 8/23/04, Andrew McCall wrote: Whilst on

Excellent advice. I got a replacement motherboard and the clip for the tracker/clicker ribbon is missing. External kb and mouse work fine. Is there a good way of inserting the ribbon?

Matt, I have 4 machines with this problem, had a fifth, but it was repaired by replacing the power supply module. I suspect heat is part of the problem, as all of the failed units I have are 200 or 240 mHz machines. A PMU reset is accomplished by removing all power AC and battery (exceptin
