I'm not thrilled with the ending to this long saga. I don't see a new machine in my future for a long, long, time, due to financial troubles.
In the meantime, I really miss the music. :-(
If any other ideas pop into your head, or anyone elses, PLEASE let me know.
Thanks much. |
Jottagirl,
I'm not sure if this qualifies as another "idea" but although I have a Mac much older than yours, I too am using OS 9.1 and I'm stuck with it until I get a new Mac...(not to be soon). I'm also not an expert but I occassionally do tackle the clean install method to clean up accumulated bugs in the OS...Do you have Conflict Catcher 8 with the downloadable upgrades (8.0.6 and 8.0.8)? Nice thing about CC they send you a BOOK. The manual includes a very(?) easy to understand step-by-step process for the "clean install" operation.; far better for me to have a book than trying to access any onscreen help when I'm doing this stuff.
I've been using LimeWire since 1.6 and although the "improvements" are slowly leaving me in the dust (taxing this old Performa and the dreaded MJR, my most up-to-date version LW 3.6.10 did install and works fairly well. By the way I NEVER remove a previous version of LW that is working until I have had a chance to use the newer version...I still have LW 1.7, 2.7.13 Pro, 3.4.7 Pro and 3.6.10 Pro installed and use each of them every once and a while (I find that LW 2.7.13 gives be the least number of "crashes" per session. As the old LW 1.7 installed the best MJR I can use, I ALWAYS use the LW version Mac download which does not include another copy of MJR.
Good Luck
