Subject: Problems w/ restart! :<

  I am currently using an SE (dinosaur) w System Picker and Sys 7.0 and 6.0.x,
and recently I switched to sys 6 and back to 7. Except upon restarting under 7,
instead of rebuilding the desktop as normal, w the cancel button, it shows the
rebuilding dialog box, but flashes it off again, the drive runs and runs, it
flashes it again *real* fast, over and over until I catch the cancel button. It
seems really odd, and wondered just what the hell is going on. If I was a
paranoid (and typical) user, I would assume virus, which seems doubtful here,
but I seem to have no other explanation.
   I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup to ask this or not, but I
thought I'd give it a shot.

  The reason why we made this change was because some applications asked a
question positively while others would ask it negatively:  "Do you want to
save your changes?" versus "Do you want to throw away your changes?"  "Yes"
and "No" have opposite meanings for these two questions.  There would be a
good chance that people who go blazing through dialogs (like me) will hit
the wrong button.  By using "Save" and "Don't save", it's very clear what
action will happen when you click these buttons, so you don't have to read
the full text of the dialog.

I did not find a 220v version (I live in switzerland), so I ordered a US 110v
PowerKey and made it working with 220v. However the procedure doing this
will void the warranty and needs some soldering. You will also need another case.
I replaced the transformator inside with a 220v and removed the power surge
protector because he did not survive 220 volts. Then I mounted the thing into
the new case, which was probably the hardest part.
My PowerKey works fine on a Classic for about a year now.

Quicktime 1.5 won't load on my Mac IIx under System 7.0.1/Tuneup 1.1.1
(Icelandic), even with all other extensions disabled.  I get a dialog
box saying too bad, it won't run, offering a restart and suggesting I
hold the shift key down (to avoid getting the same dialog box again).

Several people have told me that they have no problem running QT1.5
under 7.0.1.

Could the problem be that I am running the Icelandic version of 7.0.1?

Could anyone suggest anything further to try?

I need QT 1.5 in order to display some of the space telescope images in

I just helped a user with this for about the fiftieth time.  It
takes three steps:

1. In the View menu, pick view by name

2. In the View menu, pick view by small icon

3. OPTION-CLICK the Window menu, and clean-up will read
   "clean up by name."  Select it.

Usually what happens is that a bunch of folders get piled up
on top of each other.  "Clean up window" does *NOT* fix it
because it just moves all the piled-up icons to the nearest
grid position.  It does not spread them out, which is what
you need.  "Clean up by Name" does spread them out properly.

Also, you can control how many rows/columns you get by
resizing the window and cleaning up by name.

I have a Mac. SE/30 with System 7.0. So far, I have been having no
trouble at all but recently I've been having problems with emptying
the trash. For some unknown reason, I am unable to clear the contents
of the trash (even if I select "Empty Trash...") from the Special
Menu. Instead I get an error message saying "The item *** could not be
deleted because it contains items that are in use". Ok...so I quit all
applications and repeat the procedure again. Still the same message
appears. The surprising thing is that the items in the trash are all
empty folders. Why am I unable to clear the trash ?

Any help will greatly be appreciated.

True, except it's not really Applicon that does it. The system does it, any time
you option-click the window of a non-frontmost app.

Most people are having the reverse problem... they can't rename the volume.
All you need to do is turn on file-sharing, share the volume, turn off file-

If anything on the volume is shared, you can't rename the volume.  It doesn't

Seems I read somewhere that the screen font and truetype font version

Speaking of hard drives and icon changing, I was wondering if anyone knew
a method for changing the hard drive icon for System 6.0.7.

I use both System 6 and 7 on my mac, for various reasons and while I never
had any problem changing the icon for system 7, I haven't figured out where
the resource is for the system 6 icon.

I've been using ResEdit here and there to muck around in the system file and
all, but no luck.. suggestions?

Thanks

The "standard" way is to try to open your damaged suitcase file using
ResEdit.  If the file is damaged, ResEdit will try to verify it and 
extract what resources it can.  If you're very lucky, the file will be
completely repaired; if the damage is more serious you may still be able
to extract quite a lot of usable resources

Hi all,

Thanks go to everyone who replied, if you have any suggestions
please send them to me. The problem is that my sound has stopped
working on my IIsi. Everyone has said to either 1) Turn up the
sound, that sometimes clears the problem. 2) Use headphones. In
my original post, I mentioned that I did try headphones but that the 
sound was only coming out one speaker on most applications (ie Hellcats).
I am going to try to clean the speaker contacts tonight. Does anyone
know why I am only getting sound out of one earpiece? Is this related
to the known speaker problem on the IIsi or something else. Any and all
help is welcome. Please e-mail if possible. Thanks and have a good day!
