I have a G4 867 with 1Gig RAM and 40 Gig Hd. running OS 9.2.2 (Sorry guys-I use a professional audio program and need to be compatible with others)

-When I double click an item in the Finder (Word doc, Excel doc, Filemaker Pro doc) it wants to open it using the OSX version of the app, and gives an error message. However when the corresponding app is already running double clicking it will open it. Is this a preference that I can set? Any ideas?

    I'm assuming, by your post, that you have OS X installed also. If so, boot into X, and set all files of the type in question to open in the OS9 app. You can do this by selecting a file of the type in question, selecting Get Info from the File menu, set it to open in the OS 9 App, and then press the little "apply to all files of this type" button in the Get Info window.



    I hope this helps.
