    Classic doesn't start up: it freezes my g4

    Hi Every time I attempt to start up Classic it crashes/freezes the all computer. I tried starting Classic with the 'Mac OS 9.2.2 All' set of extensions and with the 'Base' set too but neither of them works -they both crash-. If I start the computer from OS9 it works fine. I don't...

    Classic makes my G4 crash after having installed Tiger

    oh no.... it did work (i started Classic twice before crashing again), but now it crashes again...with the difference that, if I start Classic with extensions off, the Engine error that seemed related to the HP deskjet printer message doesn't come up anymore...... grrr...:(

    Classic makes my G4 crash after having installed Tiger

    Ok, I found the solution :) As suggested by bobw, it was true it had to do with the HP software driver. Here, as follows, what I have done: First I tried unistalling the HP deskject 3550 driver using the CD that came with the printer. This installer/unistaller in here contains both the...

    Classic makes my G4 crash after having installed Tiger

    Yes, the 2 OSs are on the same drive. During installation i don't know if I've included OS9 drivers "as an option to the OSX part of the drive" (i don't know what does this mean...i've just updated the system following the onscreen instructions).

    Classic makes my G4 crash after having installed Tiger

    Hi there I've very recently upgraded my g4 from Panther to Tiger. I can start the g4 trouble-free from OS9. Classic was working perfectly before the upgrade, but now this happens: I start it, the smiley face of the welcome to OS window comes up, I can see all the extensions loading up...

    How can I install Panther on ibook with broken CD drive?

    hi Zammy-Sam your option,the easiest, is the one I hoped worked first. After having copied the disk on the HD, and changed the start up disk in control panels with the Install Disk, I booted. It first looked as if it was going to work (the grey apple in the middle of the screen appeared, as if...

    How can I install Panther on ibook with broken CD drive?

    Hi there, I've got an ibook (blue and white) with g3 processor and enough memory to install Panther, but my problem is that the laptop doesn't recognize as start up disk any external CD drive (its internal one doesn't work, unlikely). I tried with the Iomega external CD burner I've got, tried...

    How do i connect my g4 to my tv?

    Hi there, I have a g4, one of the first one that came out. It has firewire and usb. No video out, as far as I understand (not much :( ). My tv is about 5 years old, it's a cheap one unlikely :/, so it doesn't have any fancy connector. I bought a scart adaptor with the sound (2 jacks) + video...
