ok, i wondering if anyone with a g4 sawtooth is having any trouble running word98. i have a 450 MHz g4 with 128MB ram, virtual mem off. now while running word i get error just doin…

No, I'm running Word 98 on the same system that you apparently have (450 sawtooth/ 128 RAM), and I haven't had any unusual problems with it. I'm running OS 8.6, as it was when it …

actually i'm running os9 with my g4. so that means it has something to do with os9 and word98. i'll try something. thanks.

Have you checked the available patches? Check out the Microsoft "Mactopia" pages, because I *think* that there was a note about Office 98 and OS 9, and there is a patch to fix kno…

thanks i had office98 updated a while ago but i had vir mem on because i couldn't afford any errors like that. but now that i have checked i think the patch really did solve the pr…

The factory ATA drive is on a metal tray the extends up on both sides above the factory drive to accomodate a 2nd drive in the future. The "elusive" key screw is on the front end o…

Apple has some good instructional videos on their Customer Installable Parts (CIP) site. Check it out. There're some videos showing you how to replace your DVD-ROM/RAM drive, insta…

Ok, I found this website: http://www.quantum.com/support/hdd/f...ta_support.htm Which seems to claim that the Fireball's "Single drive" and "Master with slave present" settings a…

Looks like the main drive is set on Master. Try setting the new drive to Master and your Quantum to Slave. Also make sure the ribbon cables & power connectors are fully seated …

I believe that any machine that has a 10/100 port is going to be more finicky than a machine that has a 10 port. Part of the n-way auto-negotiation (for speed and duplex settings)…

I've been networking iBook with my work Ethernet and at home with my beige G3/300. I use a cheap Ethernet hub and Cat 5 cabling. Frank

Ok, since this topic seems to attract a few networking nerd, i'll see if you guys can help me ; ) I'm about to go wireless (got the Base, card due tomorrow) with an iBook, Airpor…

Try trashing the energy saver preferences. I read somewhere that that would fix it. I tried it and it didn't work though, I ended up doing a clean install of OS 9 when I got it a…

have you tried using startup doubler? that might help.....does anyone know if this is compatible with Mac OS 9 or iBook...thats one way I would go about it.

Startup doubler seems to work fine on 8.6 on my iBook. But as far as taking ages to get the desktop up after loading the extensions, try rebuilding the desktop (option-command held…

Okay, some judicious tinkering with the extensions manager has revealed that the culprit was the ethernet (Apple Enet) extension. The symptoms are that after the loading of all ext…

Hey friends, I don't intend to demean any of the previous postings on this problem, but I don't think anyone has identified the real cause of the startup delay problem. Here it is:…
