  • The Quicktime export thing seems to have solved it. My .aiffs are now up and running! Thanks Brad and everyone else who helped with this and the Permissions problem. Cheers!
  • Dear Brad, That's terrific! Thanks for your help. I have just done some more experiments and one of them has worked. I used Quicktime Pro to make an .aiff from a CD and this one is usable to Sound Preferences. The other one, also an .aiff, was o…
  • Dear Brad, The Sound Preferences window you posted looks different to mine. I have fewer icons accross the top, do you think this is significant? I only have: Show All, Displays, Sound, Network and Startup Disk. You have several more. ???
  • Dear Dobby and iBrowse, Running the Disk utility fixed the problem where I couldn't delete stuff from the Hard Drive window totally. There were a bunch of permissions mostly to do with Flash that were repaired and now I can just trash stuff I don…

  • I tried that and the sound simply bounced out again with an error message saying that system alerts could not be altered. I'm using X.2.6
  • OK my Epson Dramas have always been due to corrupt driver files. Run the uninstaller, then do a finder search on any Epson related name you can think of and Trash anything you can find to do with the printer Driver etc. Check the extensions manager…
  • Because I haven't upgraded Photoshop to version 7 yet I can only use my Epson scanner if I boot into OS 9. It will not work in Classic mode in the backround of X although I can use Photoshop this way, I have to reboot into 9 for the scanner to work.…
