This belongs on the G-Books list. This isn't even one off... You'll get better responses from them anyway, considering they actually own and talk about Lombards over there. Not everyone on this list has a G3/G4 based PowerBook...
Your book shouldn't need a system enabler, especially under 9.2.2. Is virtual memory on? Probably is if you've only got 64MB RAM! Buy more RAM, it's dirt cheap, and turn off VM! Although the debate over VM is beyond the scope of this message, IMHO VM defeats the point of having a battery powered computer - if you're going to thrash about on your disk every second the computer is on, your battery will deplete far to quickly, defeating the mobility of your PowerBook. Might as well tote an iMac around with you. Do the usual voodoo dance (zap the PRAM, reset the power manager, empty the prefs folder of what you don't need, etc) and see if that helps. Try a clean install of the OS. Systems with an OS installed by the previous owner sometimes don't behave correctly... Sometimes (not in all cases, of course!) the previous owner just didn't know what the heck (s)he was doing with the computer. Finally, check to make sure the RAM and CPU are properly seated. Definitely make sure the hard disk is seated correctly. Sometimes a slight misalignment will allow your computer to run, but not behave correctly. Seriously, the biggest speed enhancement you'll get is by upgrading the RAM. 64MB is _BARELY_ enough to run OS 9. 9.2.2 on my Wallstreet takes 60-70MB. And PC133 SODIMMs are dirt cheap (they work all the way back to the Wallstreet, btw). Unless you _really_ can't afford it, there's no reason why you shouldn't get more RAM. peace, Drew -- <http://homepage.mac.com/alk/> "There are of course many problems connected with life, of which some of the most popular are `Why are people born?' `Why do they die?' `Why do they spend so much of the intervening time wearing digital watches?'" -- Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
