Well I figured out the what the -127 error was, after downloading all those updates and copying my system folder like OS9helper said to do, the hard drive was too full, 4gig. I got rid of some stuff and 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 loaded just fine. Mozilla now scrolls quite smoothly. Everything seems quite snappy. I downloaded the latest drivers for the ATI Radeon card and I think that has alot to do with the scrolling speed. We got Warcraft III to load once 9.2.2 was loaded and it wasn't doing too bad but it freezes after about 10 minutes of play, offline play that is. Well back to the drawing board on the Warcraft. We did double the ram allocated to Warcraft.
