I bought one of these nifty USB wireless adapters <http://tinyurl.com/ 66egqs> for my wife's G4 MDD 1.4 GB running 10.4.11, and it works great. I just plugged the dongle into a USB port, installed the software from the included CD, and her Mac now has access to the Internet from the antenna on our Zoom DSL modem at the other end of the house (sitting atop a G5 and plugged into its Ethernet port).
I decided it would be nice to do the same for another G4 we have, a 2002 Quicksilver 1 GB also running 10.4.11, so I bought a second one of these gadgets. However, for some reason I can't figure out, the installer for the software won't work in the Quicksilver. The folder on the installer CD opens up and shows the installer package icon, and double-clicking on the icon makes it zoom out like it's going to work, but no window appears. I thought maybe the installer CD was defective, so tried the one that came with the first dongle, but it won't open either. Then I tried downloading the software off the NewerTech website and transferring it to the Quicksilver with a flash drive, but that installer won't open either. Next I tried logging in from a second account, but the installer won't work that way either. The installer .pkg just won't open up. Anybody got any idea what could be preventing this software installer from working in the Quicksilver? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
