K, whenever I try and change the backround picture on my mac, the Appearance thing (its what you use to change the backround) quits with an error of either type 3 or 11, and then it says the Finder(!) has unexpectadly quit, and sometimes the comp. freezes after that. I really want to get rid of this bland backround of ours (dull shade of blue [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) but theres no way for me to do it! Help please! [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you have a rebuild CD of the same OS you are running, try and simple change the two finder files (You are on OS 8 or 9 I guess?)

Sometimes the Finder just seems to be unable to act nicely so try and change the files clean with the ones from the rebuiled CD. (You have two Finder programs in your puter, and you need to boot from a CD to be able to do this.)

Good luck.

Wolfgir: K, so I should boot with the CD, and exchange Finder files? I won't lose anything will I?

Why are you still using your old Mac ? You have a brand new PC, don't you ? Try to sell your Mac, if you can find someone who's interrested in it.

Cuz all my parents' stuff is on there and my mother has the odd feeling that Macs are far superior than PCs. As a gamer my thoughts are clear: Yea, right :D

BTW, johnny, your gaining on Cloudy awfully fast...whatll happen if someday you pass her? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

His post count will go back to 0. Every time johnny posts, his post-count will go backwards resulting in negative numbers.


:D

Your mac's being gimpy????! You mean it's taking it up the ass from someone....? :D

and just in case I haven't been annoying enough lately....Sir G it's "you're gaining" not "your gaining" unless you really wanted to talk about a "gaining" that johnny posesses.... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
