Hi, I have OS 10.2.6 and OS 9.2.2 on the first half of my iMac. (Bondi
Blue, 384 mgs of Ram) I can't get my scanner (Umax 1220U) to work
properly under these systems. It keeps freezing or causing problems
with my classic OS. I had no problem with OS 9.1. I just tried to
install OS 9.1 on the second half of my partitioned hard drive,
thinking perhaps I could just use this with my Adobe Photodeluxe
software (utilizing Vistascan) for my scanner. But when I restarted
it (from system preferences control panel), I got nothing but a gray
screen with a very small message about firmware update (which I have
done previously). I could not advance beyond this. I had to restart my
computer using Norton Utilities and get that to restart my computer
with OS 10.2.6. It was pretty scary, and I thought at first, I'd
totally fried my computer. I can't figure out why my OS 9.1 (from my
original software disks) won't work, When I used the Norton utilities
CD, it used os 9.1 to fix things. Crazy, huh? Any ideas? Do you think
my disks are just messed up? I also have 8.5 software. Would I be crazy
to try that on the second partition? (I've deleted the 9.1) Can you use
8.5 if you have 10.2.6 on the first partition? Thanks to anyone who
replies! I just want my scanner back!
Lauren
