Just recently Skype changed things so that I can no longer use it with Mac OS 10.4.11. I'm sure there's been lots of discussion and hopefully a fix mentioned. Somewhere it was mentioned to use Skype 2.8, but after download its a higher version that doesn't work. Surly there's a URL with a...

Though problem of not being able to print in OS 9 occurred over a week before my Nov. 2 post, it's only today that after not doing anything, after selecting my printer in OS 9 Chooser, it's showing up. I'd been checking almost daily, and only today it magically appeared. Since problem occured...

Some months ago I couldn't print in OS 9 and fixed problem by removing items in Print Queue. It worked fine for months. New problem: After I down-loaded "Bean", as before I'd see printer icon in OS 9 Chooser box on left, but it would not show up in box on right. I removed Bean application...

I want to send a fax from my SE 30 (OS 7.5.5) . I know I have sent fax from this in past. I found the 1.4Mb disk with FaxSTF (version 2.6.1) installer on it and ran it. I was asked to choose my modem model, with "US Robotics 14,400 Mac & Fax" highlighted amoung many other choices, with an...

Problem fixed: After hours of frustration, I finally found and fixed problem. I have a laCie back up drive. I had to go into my main HD and Lacie drive, and in System Preferences, Print and Fax removed items in Print Queue. This is what was preventing printing in Classic. Curiously though...

Everything was working fine for over a year until last week, so driver was installed. In Chooser in OS9 I do see the printer icon, but when I now select it, it now doesn't show up in right box under "Select a printer". Printer is connected directly, only to iMac. I have skills to a very high...

I have iMac G5 running OS 10.4.11 and Classic. Until recently if I wanted to print from my MS Word 5 document in OS 9, I'd go to Chooser and select printer (HP Deskjet 940). Now when I try to select it, icon doesn't show up in box on right. If I try to print I get an error "printer not...

Solution to my focus problem: Thanks to all for input. Here's solution told me by my tech.: The adjustment he was referring to is the cutoff. I have already done that - turned the cutoff down and turned the brightness up. I also cleaned both the focus and cutoff pots. It is a bit of a...

As my first post said, I tried adjusting focus control - it did nothing. I will replace R26 as Trag told me: "R26 is a 1 M ohm, 1/2 watt 5% resistor on the analog board." But is R26 the variable focus pot, or fixed resistor in series with focus pot? If in series, does anyone know value of...

Dec. 31 /09 Almost New Years Eve: Thank you all good folks who replied to my problem. Phreakout (Joe), I enjoy your postscripts. Here's one I just made up: (Hey Joe, where you goin' with that ram in your hand?). To reiterate, only problem is focus. I've been asked to show an image of...

Thanks JDW for reply: To simply my request for answer re focus problem, I didn't state full story. My SE 30 motherboard failed in May, and I purchased a used replacement from "Nextstep Recycle" in Eugene Or. This worked till recently, so I had two defective motherboards. I bought two sets...

After excellent dealings with Trag, I replaced (paid technician) to have caps replaced with tantalums. Fixed problem, but now focus is off a bit - but too uncomfortable to view. The Focus Adj. pot does nothing. Asked Trag, and in a most timely answer he told me it was probably fixed resistor...
