Re: Hardware test?
Hi Jude, Check the cooling fan in the CPU heat sink. I recently had the same problem with stall, slowdowns and required restarts. turned out the fan was running, but only very slow and the CPUs were over heating, Regards, Paul I was wondering if anyone knew what sort of tests I could run to see if all my hardware is alright. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with a dual 800 G4 and I've run every test and workaround I know of to fix it, and still the problem persists. I've run the onboard Disk Utility stuff, repaired permissions (a lot), run Diskwarrior (including the hardware tests), zapped the PRAM, used Mac Janitor, Cache Out, Memtest, and Virex. I'm still getting stalls and slow downs that require a restart, and the other day I got a grey box telling me I needed to restart the computer (while a client was sitting beside me - doh!). I've upgraded all the way to 10.3.9 in hopes of ironing this out but it just seems to be getting worse. I don't use system modifiers like fruity menus or anything. I do have a few out of the ordinary apps like cheap-o-scope and lots of conversion apps, but these are not running at the time the problems occur. Any ideas?
Re: Digital Projectors

Re: Lost Chime?
Same with me! Since installing 10.4.1 on my iMac I no longer get the Boing every time but it opens and everything works. I had thought the opening boing indicated something relating to the health of the Mac. Lloyd Wamuggers Help I've lost my Boing!

Re: Lost Chime?
I had thought the opening boing indicated something relating to the health of the Mac. That's correct. It indicates the results of the Mac's Power On Self Test, the bong means she's all good. Probably Tiger's done something to your BIOS/ROM as that chime is an instruction in the ROM. It's a bit of a concern, what else has it altered?

The chime can be silenced by muting your audio volume (or, at least, it could in the past --- although I've somehow developed the impression this is not effective with Panther and newer Macs). Perhaps Tiger always mutes the audio volume on shutdown for some reason?

Re: Lost Chime?
My BOING is back. I zapped the PRAM by holding down the apple+option+P+R keys at start up and waiting for 3 boings and now all is well again. Perhaps I should have done that after upgrading to 10.4.1.

Under Tiger you can now check the results of the Power On Self Tests (POSTs) using Apple System Profiler. Assuming of course that your machine gets far enough to run Apple System Profiler if it fails the POSTs :) Have fun, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer The love of liberty is the love Opinions for hire [POQ] of others; the love of power is http://public.xdi.org/=Shayfnord the love of ourselves - Hazlitt
Word Mirror images
Hi all, I've been having problems with Word printing in mirror image instead of normal print. All other programs appear to be OK except for Entourage which gives a Error occurred while printing. An unknown error (-50) occurred I'm running 10.3.8 and Word version is 11.1. Sometimes Word will print normally if I've just restarted the Powerbook, but most of the time its giving me mirrored printing? Any clues for either problems?

users confusion
Just wondering if anyone has an idea about deleting users. I didn't know I should have moved my old stuff from my imac before I set up a user on my power book. Now I have 2. One which has virtually nothing in it which is my new users; and one which is a copy of my old one. Unfortunately when I log in as the old user I can't download any files (dmg, rtf etc) Just get a message can't create files but works Ok with the new user. Up to this point I was just going to delete the new user, but now I don't know. Any ideas? Rosemary
