If you've reset your user account password using the DVD, this can't change the Login Keychain password which remains the old password. If you can't remember the old password, I believe you'll need to delete your Keychains and start over (they'll regenerate, but you'll lose saved passwords).

On the second monitor, which is turned vertically I lose the mouse. Mouse Locator helps some, but when the erratic mouse goes to the outside edge of the vertical monitor, it is lost. Any suggestions to correct this problem will be appreciated. George I think the erratic mouse is due the limitations of the refresh rate of the usb adapter. As far as the lost mouse is concerned, are the monitors shown in the monitors preference pane the same way they are physically arranged on your desk? Does the adapter support the refresh rate and resolution settings of the second monitor? Portrait monitors are very rare now a days. Looking at the specs of a couple of adapters at sewelldirect.com, it appears that they do not support portrait monitor resolutions: Supported Standard Resolutions: 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 960, 1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1200 Supported Widescreen Resolutions: 720x400, 832x624, 1152x870, 1360x768, 1366x768, 1440x900, 1680x1050 So I am guessing that part of the screen is being cut off on the left and right sides and that is where the mouse is going. Len Displays in Sys. Prefs. shows the second monitor rotated 270 degrees. It's not actually a portrait monitor. It's mounted vertically on a dual monitor stand. Resolution on both is set at 1680 x 1050. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

Anyone know how I can get up and running without having to deal with Larry again? Cable modems have to be provisioned by the cable company. This is cable-speak for saying they have to register the modem's coax MAC address in their database, so their head-end (CMTS) router will recognize that it belongs to you - a real customer -, and grant it permission to talk. A support person at the cable company must manually type that MAC address into their database, and get it right. Then the information must be pushed to their CMTS -- a process they can do instantly, or that happens automatically every 15 minutes to hours. THEN you have to power cycle the modem, so it will do a full init sequence. Once your modem has fully initialized (most show this with all solid green lights), you can then talk to it with your Mac... Note when I say power cycle I mean exactly that -- UNPLUG the power cable from the modem. WAIT a minute or so. Then plug it back in. The point is to make the modem totally forget any settings it currently has. Using the power button is *insufficient* - as it does not clear the modem's memory. The full initialization sequence can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 15 minutes -- it depends on how clean the signal is over the coax (the modem has to hunt for usable frequencies), and how responsive the cable company's DHCP and TFTP servers are. The DHCP server provides the modem with private IP address. The TFTP server sends the parameter files... - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth So, you're saying I'm stuck with this 13 year old PC laptop that is picking up a wireless signal from somewhere until tomorrow? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.
