Re: Flat Screens for DTP

I'd be interested to hear what the WAMUGers think! (Dreaming of 2 x 17-19" screens on a dual switch box for my machines) As older machines don't have the DVI out required to drive Apple's flat panels, many DTP places won't have upgraded. And the colour resolution probably isn't as good as a g

Excel glitch

I have a minor glitch with Office98/OS9.1 which has just surfaced for no apparent reason. When I double click an Excel worksheet file to open it, Excel loads then comes up with a Visual Basic error message "Unable to load DLL". If you click the message it goes leaving a new blank worksheet open

Waiting At startup

I'm am running a G4-400 with OS 9.2.2 and every time after starting up or waking up from sleep I have to wait a very long time to use my computer. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem and how I might fix it? (I'm not using file sharing) Thank you in advance Ruben

Speaking of waiting...

I have a problem similar to Ruben's, although I'm sure the underlying factors are quite different. A client has a network consisting of a couple of PowerMac 7300 machines, an old PowerComputing clone, and occasionally a G3 PowerBook, all connewcted through by Ethernet through an ISDN router. O

iMac won't boot properly...

Hi all, I have a friend in Singapore who has an iMac that won't boot unless you zap the PRAM since she installed a firmware update a few days ago (she's not sure which one it was). It now won't boot from a CD or an external drive and announces that the system software is incompatible if you tr

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 o

Re: iMac won't boot properly...

On the G3 list there has been much discussion about Pram Zapping. You may think that getting the chimes just once is enough. Apparently under some circumstances it is necessary to hold down the keys until you have heard as many as 12 sets of chimes and then release the keys. That's right Twe

Word 98 glitches

This is the problem. I use Word 98 on a G4 + System 9.1 Not infrequently, like at least twice a week plus I will experience Word file fragmentation - there's heaps of spare disk space, so I dont understand that anyway. The symptoms are often things like page breaks occurring before they should ( i

You have a flat PRAM battery. It's pretty easy to change & you can find instructions for "shelling the crab" as I call disassembling an imac if you hunt around the Apple knowledge base.
