Subject: "Sticky" mouse button???

Since installing system 7, I've noticed a highly irritating side effect:
a sticky mouse button.  Quite often, clicking the button results in the
mac behaving as if I was still holding the button down.  Usually this
happens when I'm pulling down a menu (a-la Windows for the PC) or in a
scrollbar.  It's also annoying the #*!?# out of me.  Anyone know how
I can stop it doing this?

System 7.1 with TuneUp, occurred on both Quadra 700 and SE, no mind
boggling extensions that I can think of, definitely not a hardware
problem (I've tried several different mice on each system).

Ideas...?

Thanks in advance,
Tim Morris.

Subject: Don't buy Times Two
Date: 9 Jan 93 19:09:04 GMT

I read someone saying something about Times Two in this newsgroup a few days
ago. I have used Times Two for a while now, and I am really mad at Golden
Triangle. While it _mostly_ works, it does corrupt a great amount of data. 
	Even after I upgraded from version 1.0 to version 1.0.1, I have had to
restore backups almost 6 times in a one-month time frame due to Times Two's
lossy compression.
	While Times Two's technology may be the wave of the future, Golden Triangle
has in no way perfected that technology yet. Times Two does NOT support
partitioning. It installs its own driver that takes up over 10 megs of Times
Twoed space.
	I have heard about two other products that do the same thing as Times Two,
eDisk by Alysis and Stacker by Stac. These install an extension to your
current driver, a feature which allows for partitioning and which is *much*
safer than what Times Two does.
	Unless you like lots of crashes and lossy compression at lossless ratios,
don't waste your money on Times Two.

There also is a shareware program called Icon Master that has a handfull of

use and has some good icons on it but the paste and copy method stated above
is nice to make costom icons You can even scan a picture of yourself and use 
it to personalize your Hard Disks.

I've got a PowerBook 180 4/120 (Finally!) and am having an annoying if
not fatal problem with the hard drive. I repartitioned the hard drive to
reclaim the hidden space, then re-installed Sys 7.1 from the installer
disks, in case that's important. The problem is that whenever I have a
crash that requires a restart the internal drive is corrupted. The drive
is found with no problems, but I get the "This disk is damaged, Do you
want to initialize it?" message. I can get the drive back by running
Norton Disk Doctor, though Norton says the disk may be damaged. This is
an infinitely repeatable problem.

So the question is as the title says: Is this something wrong with the
System 7.1 installer, the PB ROMs or just a bad HD? (I am hoping to avoid
reformatting because of the 85 Meg of stuff I'd have to back up - also,
if this is a known problem, I'd like it solved before the backup, not
after).

Subject: Why does 7.1 system need 9921k?

The 7.1 system on my Mac II ci seems to use lots of
memory even when I boot without INIT's from a floppy.

Radius Precision Color Display/20 with 8 bit color card
Virtual memory: OFF
disk cache: 512k

memory:              16384k
System software:      9921k
Largest unused block: 6437k

Can this be normal?  I have no idea where to look for 
the culprit.  I welcome any suggestions.

Thank you kindly,

Reply-To: demme@fa.intel.com
Organization: Az-Kal


  [Pardon me if this is a duplication; I tried posting it once before
   using another service, but I don't think it got out the door...]

This is a trivial issue, but it's really bugging me:

System 7 with Tuneup 1.1.1.

I have a IIcx with a Radius monochrome Pivot monitor, which supports 4
levels of gray-scale.  Several months ago I followed the instructions
in the Jan. 92 issue of MacUser "Beating the System" to successfully
create and use a 64x64 desktop pattern, with grays, by editing the
ppat 16 resource in the System file.  Worked fine for months...

This week I did something in the process of extracting that ppat
resource for use on another machine which has caused my fancy desktop
pattern to be ignored (and I've flailed around so much trying to get
it back that I don't really know just when the problem started) and
the set of B&W patterns to be used instead.  Here are the symptoms:

* The monitor works fine in 4 grays mode; the highlight color is gray,
  etc.

* The General Controls Panel refuses to show me the patterns in the
  ppt# resource (which seem to be the "color" patterns) but show me
  the B&W patterns instead.

* MacEnvy says my monitor is a 2-bit monochrome.

I've tried the following increasingly desparate measures, to no avail:

* Faithfully following the original instructions again.
* Restoring the System file and the General Controls files from a
  backup taken when the large gray desktop pattern was working.
* Zapping the PRAM.

So what's the answer?  What do I frob to convince whoever displays the
desktop pattern to use the color/gray patterns, and specifically to
use the contents of ppat 16?

Hello netter,

      I received some files from ftp.  I created a folder called
"Taipei".  I moved three of files to that folder.  Somehow, two of file
disappear.  One file are luck because stay on same folder.  I tried to
delete that folder, so I can copy it from ftp again.  Somehow,  It's
refused due to that folder is in use.  Sometime it said the trash is
empty, but the trash icon still fat.  I played with it for a while.  I
received the dialog so far that I moved the folder to other directories.  I
received three dialog often.  Follow I got dialog:

1.  The command could not be completed because the file not found.
2.  The command could not be completed because an error of type -127
    occurred.
3.  The command could not be completed because an error of type -1805
    occurred.

I have no back-up record.  I have Macintosh Classic II, System 7.0.1,
Tune-up 1.1.1 installed, 80 MB hard drive (where the folder was
problem).  How I can solve this problem?  (The hard drive don't crash
yet- Luck!)

Note:  I checked on the System Errors table 7.0.1.
-127 means Internal file system error
-1805 means ??? (Not found in the System errors table).

Hi

We have a periodic problem with printing.  We get jobs spooling
to our printserver (version 3.0) that never complete spooling...
job information like owner and name don't show up either.  The
machine sending the job (any one of the Mac IIsi boxes we have
running system 6.0.7 and printer drivers 7.0) seems to hang 
until the "ghost" job is deleted, at which time it announces the
printing error.  Often if the user tries to print the job again
it will print fine.

Email replies preferred.  I'll post a solution if I get one.

I have aliases to applications, and desk accessories in my apple menu. 
I have all the applications start with a space, e.g. " FrameMaker", so
they show up first.  The spaces are thin, so it doesn't look to bad,

Hi
 If i understand correctly, the 'grayshare' feature of the stylewriter II
 printer is just part of the driver, correct?

 If so, then the driver should be hardware independant, and as such will
 maybe work with the old stylewriter right?

 If it does work with the old stylewriter, then the driver might be posted
 on the net somewhere, like the CD-ROM driver is, correct?

 I am reaching but also hoping.

Well, maybe so.  I observed the same noisy searching.  The STRANGE
thing is that I heard the same thing when I first installed the program,
before even running it.  Maybe resources/code are set up in a strange
way?  I know no other program that does this, to this extent.

By the way, OTHERWISE, a GREAT game.  My kudos to the author, I DID

Yo...I received mine too......fixed???? Does Apple ever admit that there

a problem.....The only answer I was able to obtain from Apple was that
3.0.1
is required if you upgrade to Sys 7.1.......

We reported this problem to Apple Computer Australia before Christmas.
Apparently it has been "escalated" to the USA for resolution, although
at this stage I've seen no sign of an answer...

    I seem to remember a discussion here in the past about
 improving access to CD-ROMs by keeping a copy of the desktop
 files on your hard (boot) disk.  I didn't need this then, so I
 didn't keep a copy and the system I use doesn't store files for

    Can someone mail or re-post a description of how this is done,
 or point out a file on an FTP server which describes this?
