    Realplayer probs

    I made the mistake of upgrading to RP 8. In doing so, Word for Mac now quits on opening of the application. I fixed that by finding an extension conflict. I dumped the updated RP folder, extensions, and prefs and want to install the best version that will not conflict with my key applications...

    Web-filtering software?

    I just bought ContentBarrier for about $40. It's from Intego and I found it to be easy to use, update and hard to hack or get around. Has preset filters, list for specific sites you can "block" or list as "access". Also has a custom filters option where you can list keywords, etc. Runs an hourly...

    Web publishing software options?

    I'd heard about Pagemill but it's no longer available. What are some good inexpensive choices for web software. I am going to do only a simple page with like two links and no animation, etc. I heard ones like Dreamweaver aren't friendly and take a while to learn plus the cost is up there. Thanks.

    how do i delete this damn thing?

    Try putting it back on your desktop or hd from the trash if it's there and then create a new folder with the same name. you will be asked if you want to replace the old one, click yes. now drag the new folder to the trash and delete it. voila! let us know if it worked. P.S. I learned this a few...

    Do I need to keep this?

    Cool idea that's what I'll do. The files in that folder are all already installed automatically from Software Update, right? The Utilities creation dates didn't all match the ones I already have, so maybe those are items you can selectively/manually update? There are fewer items in the Update's...

    Do I need to keep this?

    I just used Software Update to update my 9.2.1 to 9.2.2 and there is now a folder on my desktop labeled "Mac OS 9.2.2 Update". I had already done the restart which I think installed everything and the About This Computer now says OS 9.2.2 --so can I trash it? The contents seem to match the same...

    Speed Disk booting problems

    I want to run Speed Disk but the Norton CD will not boot my G4 with 9.2. I tried changing Start Up disk in Control Panel as well as holding down C key at restart--neither way worked, always boots from Mac HD. I'd heard about this bug, how do I get around it/start from another source? Do I copy...

    Troubleshooting Internet

    Is this in the right area to post this? Anyway, my new 733 G4 only connects at 31,200 max. My PC with a USR modem constantly gets 44,000 on the same dial up. Why? Is there anything I should check in settings somewhere on the G4? Anything I can do to improve connection speed? Thanks.

    Printers, Quark and USB probs/info

    Just offering this so users of QX can avoid multiple trips to the 'puter store. I just got a 733 G4 and bought a neat HP 1200se laserjet for it. The prob is (found out from HP's great tech support) that Quark and USB are not a good combo. You almost always will get a print out of cryptic...

    Norton/Symatec questions

    I recently got a G4 Quiksilver and am running 9.2 on it as I mostly use Quark, AI, and PS. I have some older symatec software from when I had a IIci. They are SAM 4.0 and norton utilities 3.1. Can I use these? I don't think they are updatable--too old. Or at least that's what the symantec site...

    OS9 or OS10?

    I just bought a new G4 733 and am concerned with using OS X, v10.1 as I heard it is not worked out yet. I was using OS 8.1 on my former employer's G3 with no probs at all. Should I stick with the OS 9 preinstalled on the new G4 and forget the upgrade CD for OS X? I will be using this machine for...
