My son has a PB 3400 running 9.1 with 48 meg RAM. He's having problems (Type 2 errors) when running MSN Messenger. We'd like to reload Messenger but their website says that they no longer offer downloads for anything older than OS 9.2. would you like a copy of an old messenger ? it's 2.1 mb mai

Re: PB 3400 OS

Well actually... The problem isnt with MSN messanger. A Type 2 error is an out of RAM error. That¹s probably because your force feeding MacOS 9 to a poor 3400 with only 48mb of RAM. I have 128mb in my 3400 and even with that I won't go any higher than 8.6. If it was my 3400 I would go to a lowe
