Yeah, I was punchy from battling Windows-7 all night, the "system image" feature. The strong implication from $Microslop$ is that the system image could restore a damaged system file. Checked and rechecked all my steps - got into the screen where Winblows was 5 minutes into restoring the 82 GB Windows-7 partition on my Macbook, when Windows decided to frustrate me by displaying the error message: "Can not locate the specified file 0x8006000" ....or some such number. I still think it is a good idea to use my Windows-7 partition as my trash can. Mark-

I have startup disks for OS 7, 8 and 9. Yes, but this looks a little different than most SS screenshots I've seen: <http://mac.abc.se/~fufug/images/Bild%201.jpg> -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

Nostalgia, I guess. I used to have a program that wouldn't run in emulation in OS9 but ran fine in 7.6. But I use OS9 in Sheepshaver quite a bit since my office software runs on it and the programmer will not make an OSX version. At the office however I use a native OS9 machine. -- m-m http://www.mhmyers.com

He uses a small window to display the Sheepshaver window, he is using OS 6, or the language is different? My SS window is 1024 x 768. -- m-m http://www.mhmyers.com |
