I have OS9 & OSX on my G4, and I ran into trouble a few months ago when I was switching between the two. My computer guy said that it couldn't find the information it needed to work properly, and recommended that I "clean the desktop" regularily. Does this make sense? and how do I do this?
Thanks for the help. |

Thanks for all your help. 'Rebuild desktop' is the term I should have used. Yes, all my software is licensed, and my mac is not hooked up to the internet. I work mostly in OS9, but recently bought software upgrades so I'm ready to move into OSX - But - I don't want to encounter the same problems I had last time, so I'd like to do a rebuild before changing the startup disk. Once I'm comfortable with the upgrade, I'll eliminate OS9 from the picture. I really appreciate the help.
