Oh, they have utilities to address that as well.

Sogni : yeah, the one-button mouse is dumb, but there are utilities around to help you work around that. One allows a tap to work as a right-click. I suppose that would help. The one-button mouse is one thing keeping me from getting a Mac laptop.

MPlayer, IIRC, has been around for a long time now for Linux. You should check it out. Also check out VLC. Real Player, as has been said, is and always has been a steaming pile of crap. But it's necessary if you want to view Real-specific files.

Changing it to the XP Silver scheme and in the advanced appearance settings shrinking the title bar to the smallest it will go makes it extremely livable.

That's because they're giving instructions for OS 9. I didn't do anything before installing WMP and it was fine. I deleted v7 afterwards. Everything's fine.

I've seen it too on and off. I wonder if it's a Safari thing. I don't think I've seen it at work using Firebird under Windows XP.

I just installed it. The installer froze for a while, but then it installed fine. I prefer the aqua look of 7, but it seems to work just fine. I hate how if you click on a later part with the scroller, it really lags for a while before it catches up. And what is it with the title bar...

Androo, how many times now have you said you were leaving?

I mean the entire /System directory. This was when I wanted to back up the whole thing before doing the 10.3 upgrade, and another time so I could wipe the archive install's /Previous Systems directory off the hard drive and just have it on a DVD. I did it in Toast's DVD data mode.

The only way to learn/speak a foreign language fluently is to think in it. Otherwise you're constantly translating.

Should I be able to back up /System and such to a DVD logged in as my regular use with admin rights? I have tried many times and always get errors. First it was a cryptic error that I finally realized was that I didn't have read permissions on some files. Then after repairing permissions it...

If Safari messes with something, I use Camino. I very rarely use IE for anything.

I don't know. I'm sure if you emailed Norbert, he'd explain it to you. Have you called IE at all from LaunchBar? If so, that's why it comes up. It comes up now for me too. It was just the first couple of times that it didn't.

This was the reply from Norbert: > Thanks for your feedback. You ran into a known issue with the search > algorithm - in some rare cases the algorithm doesn't deliver the desired > results when you search for an item for the very first time. However, you > can easily work around this...

Thanks. Yeah, mine is in fact in there. Oh well. I will hopefully be installing 10.3 tonight so I will take it from there.

I'll try rescanning. I can't until I get home though. I use Windows at work.

I understand what you're saying, but shouldn't IE at least appear in that drop-down list? There's a long list with scrollbar, but it's not even in there. Even typing "inter" doesn't bring it up.

I do have the latest version. I'll try rescanning, but from what I could see, /Applications was in the scan list. I find other apps with their initials or first 2 or 3 letters.

This is from the documentation: LaunchBar uses a very powerful, adaptive abbreviation search algorithm that allows you to use arbitrary abbreviations to locate those items whose name matches the entered abbreviation. Say you want to open "Adobe Photoshop", you may use AP, ADO, PHO, ADPS...

Thanks, but why would it not find Internet Explorer when I type 'ie', especially when it's right there in the Appllications folder and the docs say that it will match exactly something like that? It doesn't even show up in the drop-down list.
