New Just a thought

When I accidentally blew away my OS 9 System Folder on my TiBook, I copied over the System Folder from my G4 Tower and it worked just fine.

I've also seen instances where you copy the System Folder off of an install CD and it seems to work. (any additional hardware drivers can be installed later.)

New Thanks to y'all - Now am cooking with gas ...

Have 9.1 installed & everything working better than ever

in sep part

10.2 upgraded to 10.2.3 & everything working as ever I could hope for - don't even need Cllassic now.

iMove is *brilliant* is easier to use than my RaptorDV + ADobe Premier 6.5 gig on my big Win P4. Both iMovies work (they wouldn't before).

Well twas a lot of pain but I now have a lot more confidence in sorting out my wife's problems on her Apple & I *will* be making my next notebook a Titanium - ( even just for iMove).

Cheers & thanks

Doug (PS I also registered with Apple support & asked the Q re 9.1 upgrade)

New Apple Support say that the reason for the error mesg is ....

that the two versions don't match - different languages. But - that was the 1st thing I thought of and I checked that (as mentioed way back).

I suspect there may be an installer bug - I will try setting my location to somewhere else (like Australia) rather than HK & see if that is related to the problem.

It seems there is an internal code in Mac OS (i.e. D1 = German, Z1=International English)

I may get to the bottom of that yet - but in the meantime I am at last happy with the set up as is.

Cheers

Doug
