Heh Michael ,
You are a bit short on the detail there !
You tried to reinstal MS Works ... but how and onto what ?
How did you first get it installed ?
How is your hard drive configured ? One partition or two ?
Presumably MS works or should work on OS9x but not OSX .. is that right
?
Where is OS9x Classic installed ? Same Partition as OSX ?
Or are you using an OS9x system on a second Partition ?
How is your Hard Drive formatted ? Was the HD driver updated at any
time ?
I have encountered a seemingly insoluble problem.
Never !
I started keeping records on the Ms Works database in the dim mists of
the eighties. Since then they have been loaded into a succession of
machines, culminating in my present G5 dual core. All was fine in
Classic until I had to bite the bullet and do a clean install due to
the effects of too much inherited gunk clogging the arteries.
What Clean Instal did you do ? OSX only ?
Seems to me that if it worked before it can work again ... you just
have to figure out how !
Build a classic system on another Mac and copy across perhaps ?
Remove the OS( classic preferences from OSX and drag in a new lot ?
A bit of guessing there !
Bob
The machine now flies but I am unable to re-install MsWorks. I have
an external disk drive which should do it but the dialogue simply says
'install unsuccessful' or some such snide comment. The records are
extensive and I have been unable, over the years, to port them into
any other programme. As my accountant wants some info' there is an
element of urgency.
Does anyone have any ideas or, and I suspect that this might be the
answer, a venerable iMac that is going for the proverbial?
In hope, Michael
