I am having some annoying Classic crashes on Tiger (10.4.6). On a 12" PowerBook G4 (DVI) with 768 MB RAM. Emailer is the only application running in Classic and if Classic crashes new unsaved emails are lost :-(. I don't think I had the same problems when running 10.3.9. I think they may all be related to the fact that I am running a PowerBook and doing typical portable activities. 1. About 20% of the time, when I drag a mail to another folder to file it, the Classic environment crashes. As this is only intermittent I haven't really identified the true cause. I had recently installed a *new* 3rd party extension in my OS 9 System folder, USB OverDrive, which enables the scroll wheel in Classic on my Logitech Bluetooth mouse. But I don't see the same problem when running 10.3.9. 2. I often work with 2 monitors, with the menu bar and Emailer on my larger, higher resolution display (1280 x 1024). When I switch to single monitor mode (1024 x 768), either by sleeping then removing the external monitor cable or by mirroring displays by using the F7 key, the Classic Environment crashes. 3. Classic may also crash when I switch from wireless to wired printing or vice versa. I am using AppleTalk to a couple of Apple LaserWriters via an Dayna Mini EtherPrint bridge box and a Netgear MR314 wireless router. This is not such a big deal now, as I have finally realised that I never need to switch from wireless networking. And one less cable to plug in is always a plus point :-) I hope that I'm not being unrealistic in expecting the Classic environment to run more than an entire day without crashing. I'm pretty sure that OS 9.2.2 was rock solid on my previous G3 PowerBook. I'm experimenting by running 10.3.9 for a few days to see if the problems also exist there. I have my drive divided into 2 partitions to allow me to work and test on 2 different versions of Mac OS. Is anyone else having similar problems? Any solutions/suggestions?
